Does spike-time dependant plasticity occurs in dorsal horn neurons
... In the case of wind-up, presynaptic spikes from Aβ fibers cause a fast depolarization in the dorsal horn neurons. This depolarization cannot lead to any postsynaptic action potential in the dorsal horn, but up-regulates the NMDA receptors, which are located on the dorsal horn. Then, spikes from C fi ...

Caridoid escape reaction
The caridoid escape reaction, also known as lobstering or tail-flipping, refers to an innate escape mechanism in marine and freshwater crustaceans such as lobsters, krill, shrimp and crayfish.The reaction, most extensively researched in crayfish, allows crustaceans to escape predators through rapid abdominal flexions that produce powerful swimming strokes — thrusting the crustacean backwards through the water and away from danger. The type of response depends on the part of the crustacean stimulated, but this behavior is complex and is regulated both spatially and temporally through the interactions of several neurons.
