Activation of high and low affinity dopamine receptors generates a closed loop that maintains a conductance ratio and its activity correlate

Neuromodulators alter network output and have the potential to destabilize a circuit. The mechanisms maintaining stability in the face of neuromodulation are not well described. Using the pyloric network in the crustacean stomatogastric nervous system, we show that dopamine (DA) does not simply alte...
