Previous in situ hybridization studies identified VGAT- and VACHT-expressing neurons in the appropriate place in the BV to be RNs (<a href="#bib56">Yoshida et al., 2004</a>). Moreover, these neurons project axons posteriorly to the MG, a defining characteristic of the pBV RNs. BV neurons expressing other major NTs, including glutamate, dopamine, and serotonin, are neither in the correct brain region to be RNs, nor do they project from the BV to the MG ([<a href="#bib20">Horie et al., 2008b</a>; <a href="#bib31">Moret et al., 2005</a>; <a href="#bib39">Pennati et al., 2007</a>], and our observations). By HCR in situ we observed that the pBV RNs cluster in two distinct groups along the anterior/posterior axis, with the anterior cluster expressing VACHT, and the posterior group expressing VGAT (<a href="#fig3">Figure 3a</a>).

However, given the diversity of RN types in the pBV it is unlikely that the expression domains of VGAT and VACHT precisely correspond to the clusters of RN classes. In order to make predictions of NT use in the RNs we used the same registration approach as with the photoreceptors (n = 7 VGAT/VACHT double in situ datasets, <a href="/articles/44753/figures#fig3s1">Figure 3—figure supplement 1</a>). The confusion matrix for the RNs shows a lower level of convergence than for the PR-Is, suggesting that the cellular anatomy of the RN cluster is less structured than the ocellus (<a href="#fig3">Figure 3b</a>; <a href="/articles/44753/figures#fig3s1">Figure 3—figure supplement 1</a>). However, the confusion matrix also shows that the RNs are most often confused for other RNs of the same class (white boxes in <a href="#fig3">Figure 3b</a>). This is most evident when the registration is performed not with single cells, but with pooled RNs of each class (<a href="#fig3">Figure 3c</a>), and is presumably a reflection of the clustering of RN classes in the pBV. Thus we can have higher confidence in the NT use by RN class than we can have in individual neuron identities. For example, the connectome shows the AntRNs are clustered at the rear of the BV (<a href="/articles/44753/figures#fig3s1">Figure 3—figure supplement 1</a>; (<a href="#bib43">Ryan et al., 2016</a>)), as are the VGAT expressing neurons (<a href="#fig3">Figure 3a</a>; <a href="/articles/44753/figures#fig3s1">Figure 3—figure supplement 1</a>). Accordingly, the registration predicts that eight of the ten AntRNs are VGAT positive (<a href="#fig3">Figure 3c</a>). For the present study, which focuses on the visuomotor pathway, the registration predicts that five of the eight pr-AMG RNs are VGAT expressing, two are VACHT expressing, and one (pr-AMG RN 157) cannot be resolved (no dual VGAT/VACHT expression was observed in the <i>in situs</i>). On the other hand, the registration predicts that the six prRNs are evenly mixed between VGAT and VACHT expression. These predictions provide starting points for experimental validation detailed below.</p> + + + + + </div> + +</section> +<section + class="article-section " + id="s2-3" + + +> + + <header class="article-section__header"> + <h3 class="article-section__header_text">The motor ganglion contains a mixture of cholinergic and GABAergic neurons</h3> + </header> + + <div class="article-section__body"> + <p class="paragraph">The MG contains five left/right pairs of motor neurons, as well as several classes of interneurons, including six MGINs, seven AMGs, two ddNs, and two posterior MG interneurons (<a href="#bib43">Ryan et al., 2016</a>). Also described in the MG are two left/right pairs of decussating VGAT-positive neurons (<a href="#bib21">Horie et al., 2009</a>; <a href="#bib35">Nishino et al., 2010</a>). These are likely the same decussating MG neurons as described in the connectome, although the names are slightly different (<i>anterior caudal inhibitory neurons</i> (<a href="#bib21">Horie et al., 2009</a>) versus <i>ascending contralateral inhibitory neurons</i> (<a href="#bib43">Ryan et al., 2016</a>), both abbreviated as ACIN). However, the connectome reports only three ACINs, with the anterior ACIN not paired. It was speculated that this was an anomalous feature of the particular larva used for the ssEM. Supporting this, a second larva being analyzed by ssEM for connectomics shows two pairs of ACINs (K. Ryan, personal communication).</p> +<p class="paragraph">Like the ocellus, the MG has a well-defined anterior-to-posterior and dorsal-to-ventral cellular anatomy (<a href="#fig4">Figure 4a and b</a>; <a href="#bib43">Ryan et al., 2016</a>; <a href="#bib45">Ryan et al., 2018</a>). Neurotransmitter use by some MG neurons is already documented, including the motor neurons, which are cholinergic (<a href="#bib53">Takamura et al., 2010</a>; <a href="#bib52">Takamura et al., 2002</a>), and the ACINs which are glycinergic (<a href="#bib35">Nishino et al., 2010</a>). By HCR in situ hybridization we observed VGAT- and VACHT-positive neurons in the MG (<a href="#fig4">Figure 4b</a>), but no VGLUT- or TH-positive cells (data not shown). These results are consistent with previous studies (<a href="#bib20">Horie et al., 2008b</a>; <a href="#bib31">Moret et al., 2005</a>). Likewise it was reported that no serotonergic cells were present in the MG (<a href="#bib39">Pennati et al., 2007</a>). As with the RNs, the VGAT- and VACHT-expressing neurons in the MG are segregated anatomically. We also found a population of 6–7 cells between the AMGs and the MNs (asterisks in <a href="#fig4">Figure 4a</a>), that were not annotated in the connectome as neurons and that failed to label with any of our NT markers. We hypothesize that these are ependymal cells, which are abundant in the nerve cord immediately caudal to this region.</p> + <div + id="fig4" + class="asset-viewer-inline asset-viewer-inline-- " + data-variant="" + data-behaviour="AssetNavigation AssetViewer ToggleableCaption" + data-selector=".caption-text__body" + data-asset-viewer-group="fig4" + data-asset-viewer-uri="https://iiif.elifesciences.org/lax:44753%2Felife-44753-fig4-v2.tif/full/,1500/0/default.jpg" + data-asset-viewer-width="1274" + data-asset-viewer-height="1500" + > + + <div class="asset-viewer-inline__header_panel"> + <div class="asset-viewer-inline__header_text"> + <span class="asset-viewer-inline__header_text__prominent">Figure 4</span> with 1 supplement <a href="/articles/44753/figures#fig4" class="asset-viewer-inline__header_link">see all</a> + </div> + + + <div class="asset-viewer-inline__figure_access"> + <a href="https://elifesciences.org/download/aHR0cHM6Ly9paWlmLmVsaWZlc2NpZW5jZXMub3JnL2xheDo0NDc1MyUyRmVsaWZlLTQ0NzUzLWZpZzQtdjIudGlmL2Z1bGwvZnVsbC8wL2RlZmF1bHQuanBn/elife-44753-fig4-v2.jpg?_hash=ywXgEBLsOzGfI3rEs2OHLvcZSgqwkJ8EhBicEWmfAJ8%3D" class="asset-viewer-inline__download_all_link" download="Download"><span class="visuallyhidden">Download asset</span></a> + <a href="https://iiif.elifesciences.org/lax:44753%2Felife-44753-fig4-v2.tif/full/,1500/0/default.jpg" class="asset-viewer-inline__open_link" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span class="visuallyhidden">Open asset</span></a> + </div> + + </div> + + <figure class="captioned-asset"> + + <a href="https://iiif.elifesciences.org/lax:44753%2Felife-44753-fig4-v2.tif/full/,1500/0/default.jpg" class="captioned-asset__link" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> + <picture class="captioned-asset__picture"> + <source srcset="https://iiif.elifesciences.org/lax:44753%2Felife-44753-fig4-v2.tif/full/1234,/0/default.webp 2x, https://iiif.elifesciences.org/lax:44753%2Felife-44753-fig4-v2.tif/full/617,/0/default.webp 1x" + type="image/webp" + > + <source srcset="https://iiif.elifesciences.org/lax:44753%2Felife-44753-fig4-v2.tif/full/1234,/0/default.jpg 2x, https://iiif.elifesciences.org/lax:44753%2Felife-44753-fig4-v2.tif/full/617,/0/default.jpg 1x" + type="image/jpeg" + > + <img src="https://iiif.elifesciences.org/lax:44753%2Felife-44753-fig4-v2.tif/full/617,/0/default.jpg" + + alt="" + class="captioned-asset__image" + > + </picture> + </a> + + + + + <figcaption class="captioned-asset__caption"> + + <h6 class="caption-text__heading">Neurotransmitter use in the motor ganglion.</h6> + + + <div class="caption-text__body"><p class="paragraph">(<b>a</b> and <b>b</b>) Expression of VGAT and VACHT by in situ hybridization in the motor ganglion, lateral (<b>a</b>) and dorsal (<b>b</b>) views.

The anterior group of VGAT-positive cells is clustered dorsally in the MG, and correspond to AMGs (4 c, d and e; (<a href="#bib44">Ryan et al., 2017</a>)). In a dorsal view of the MG (<a href="#fig4">Figure 4f,g and h</a>) a ring of VGAT-positive cells was observed with a non-VGAT expressing cell in the center (asterisk, <a href="#fig4">Figure 4f and g</a>). The VGAT-expressing cells appear to be AMGs 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 7, while the central cell, which is instead positive for VACHT, appears to be AMG5. The connectome shows that AMG5 differs in its connectivity from the other AMGs. Significantly, AMG5 is the principle synaptic input for PNS neurons. It then synapses to the other AMGs, which in turn project their axons to other cells in the MG, including MGINs and MNs, as well as to the pr-AMG RNs in the BV. In the posterior of the MG we observed two pairs of VGAT-positive neurons, as described previously (<a href="#bib21">Horie et al., 2009</a>). Finally, in the ventral MG we observed a continuous block of VACHT expression that encompasses the anterior three pairs of MNs, the ddNs, and the MGINs. Similar in situ patterns were observed in most larvae (<a href="/articles/44753/figures#fig4s1">Figure 4—figure supplement 1</a>), although the positions of the ACINs were offset in several (see larvae 5 and 6 in <a href="/articles/44753/figures#fig4s1">Figure 4—figure supplement 1</a>), and one larva was observed to be missing both one motor neuron and one ACIN (larva 7in <a href="/articles/44753/figures#fig4s1">Figure 4—figure supplement 1</a>), suggesting that MG variants, such as was observed in the animal used in the connectome study, may be relatively common.</p> + + + + + </div> + +</section> +<section + class="article-section " + id="s2-4" + + +> + + <header class="article-section__header"> + <h3 class="article-section__header_text">Parallel visuomotor circuits</h3> + </header> + + <div class="article-section__body"> + <p class="paragraph">Our results indicate that the PR-Is, with the exception of two cells, are glutamatergic, while the PR-IIs are a mixture of GABAergic and GABA/glutamatergic. The <i>Ciona</i> genome contains a single glutamate AMPA receptor (AMPAR) (<a href="#bib36">Okamura et al., 2005</a>) that is expressed in larvae in the two antenna cells, and in a small cluster of neurons in the pBV (<a href="#bib18">Hirai et al., 2017</a>). Published results show that most of the pBV group of AMPAR-positive neurons are clustered at the ends of Arrestin-labeled photoreceptor axons, and that they extend their axons to the MG, suggesting they are photoreceptor RNs (see Figure 2B" in <a href="#bib18">Hirai et al., 2017</a>).

For the assay, larvae were treated at 25 hr post fertilization (hpf) with perampanel in sea water and compared to vehicle-treated control larvae for both negative phototaxis and response to light dimming. The negative phototaxis assay consisted of placing the larvae in a 10 cm petri dish of sea water with a 505 nm LED lamp placed to one side (described by us previously <a href="#bib46">Salas et al., 2018</a>). Images were collected at 1 min intervals over 5 hr to assess for taxis (<a href="#video1">Video 1</a>). <a href="#fig5">Figure 5b and c</a> show representative frames from the time-lapse capture at the start and at 60 min for control and perampanel-treated larvae, respectively.

Moreover, we observed that perampanel treatment had no effect on the light dimming response (<a href="#video3">Video 3</a>). <a href="#fig6">Figure 6a and b</a> show 5 s projection images from <a href="#video3">Video 3</a> immediately before and after dimming. In these images swims appear as lines, and the responses in control and perampanel-treated larvae appear qualitatively similar. To quantitatively compare dimming response, control and perampanel-treated larvae were exposed to a range of dimming intensities from 2 to 60-fold and the percentage of larvae responding was measured and presented as a percentage in <a href="#fig6">Figure 6c</a> (results are from three independent assays, with 46–139 larvae per group). The percentage responding at all intensities was very similar for both groups, and pair-wise comparisons at each fold change failed to show significance. In addition, no differences were measured in the velocity or duration of swims in pair-wise comparisons of control and perampanel-treated larvae at any fold-dimming (data not shown). We conclude that there is no change in sensitivity to dimming caused by perampanel treatment, while phototaxis was completely disrupted. Finally, we also observed that the touch response was not inhibited by perampanel (data not shown), despite the presence of VGLUT-positive epidermal sensory neurons (<a href="#bib20">Horie et al., 2008b</a>). This would appear to agree with the observation that primary RNs for the PNS, the eminens cells and the AMGs do not express the AMPAR (<a href="#bib18">Hirai et al., 2017</a>; and our observations).

The number and location of the VACHT/AMPAR-positive RNs, the circuit logic, and our behavioral observations are all consistent with these being prRNs.</p> + + + + + </div> + +</section> +<section + class="article-section " + id="s2-5" + + +> + + <header class="article-section__header"> + <h3 class="article-section__header_text">A disinhibitory circuit</h3> + </header> + + <div class="article-section__body"> + <p class="paragraph">Of equal significance to our observation that navigation is inhibited by perampanel, is our observation that the dimming response, which is mediated by the PR-IIs (<a href="#bib46">Salas et al., 2018</a>), is not inhibited by perampanel (<a href="#fig6">Figure 6</a>). Our expression studies show that the PR-IIs are comprised of a mixture of VGAT- and VGAT/VGLUT-expressing photoreceptors. Although it is formally possible that PR-IIs signal exclusively via glutamate in an excitatory circuit via a non-AMPA glutamate receptor on their RNs, our observations that several of the PR-IIs are VGAT-only, as are the majority of the pr-AMG RNs, suggests an alternative disinhibitory circuitry logic. This circuit would consist of the inhibitory PR-IIs synapsing to the pr-AMG RNs to reduce their inhibition on the cholinergic MGINs.</p> +<p class="paragraph">Implicit in the disinhibitory model is an autonomous level of motor activity in larvae that could be inhibited by the GABAergic pr-AMG RNs, and that this inhibition is released upon stimulation of the GABAergic PR-IIs. We investigated this possibility by two approaches. In the first approach, we inhibited GABAergic receptors with picrotoxin (<a href="#bib37">Olsen, 2014</a>), which should inhibit signals from the GABAergic photoreceptors and the pr-AMG RNs (and most likely the AntRNs), as well as PNS relay neurons, including the eminens cells and the AMGs. The ACINs, which are essential for the central pattern generator (<a href="#bib35">Nishino et al., 2010</a>), are glycinergic and should not be inhibited by picrotoxin. In the second approach, we took advantage of a previously described <i>Ciona</i> mutant, <i>frimousse (frm)</i> (<a href="#bib10">Deschet and Smith, 2004</a>; <a href="#bib16">Hackley et al., 2013</a>). In homozygous <i>frm</i> larvae the anterior BV is transfated to epidermis due to a null mutation in a neurula stage-specific connexin gene (<a href="#bib16">Hackley et al., 2013</a>). <i>Frm</i> larvae thus lack the ocellus pigment cell and photoreceptors, as well as the otolith, although the motor ganglion appears intact (<a href="#bib10">Deschet and Smith, 2004</a>; <a href="#bib16">Hackley et al., 2013</a>).</p> +<section + class="article-section " + id="s2-5-1" +> + + + </div> + +</section> +<section + class="article-section " + id="s4-4" + + +> + + <header class="article-section__header"> + <h3 class="article-section__header_text">Hybridization chain reaction (HCR) in situ</h3> + <a href="https://bio-protocol.org/eLIFErap44753?item=s4-4" class="article-section__header_link">Request a detailed protocol</a> + </header> + + <div class="article-section__body"> + <p class="paragraph"><i>Ciona intestinalis</i>-type B were used for in situ studies and staged to match the animals used in the connectome study (<a href="#bib43">Ryan et al., 2016</a>).

For detection of GABAergic/glycinergic cells, probes were made to the vesicular GABA transporter gene; for glutamatergic cells, probes were made to the vesicular glutamate transporter for cholinergic cells, probes were made to the vesicular acetylcholine transporter. The sequences from which the HCR probe sets were chosen were assembled from scaffold reads available through the Aniseed website (aniseed.cnrs.fr), and are shown in <a href="/articles/44753/figures#supp1">Supplementary file 1</a>.

The source set was then rotated to an approximate orientation to the target set. Next, the Coherent Point Drift Algorithm was used to calculate an affine transformation matrix between the source set and the target set of cells (<a href="#bib32">Myronenko and Song, 2010</a>). This algorithm models the source set as a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM), and the target set is treated as observations from the GMM. The transformation matrix is calculated to maximize the Maximum A Posteriori estimation that the observed point cloud is drawn from the GMM. A nearest neighbor mapping based on Euclidean distance is then used to find the closest corresponding point in the target cell set for each cell in the transformed source cell set.

ELIANE takes the processed time-lapse images and first creates a background image by averaging the pixels from all the frames.

Then, analyzing one-by-one the initial objects, it goes frame-by-frame subtracting the background image and analyzing all objects to determine the new position of the object by comparing the Euclidean distances of it to all other objects in that frame.

A lightly edited version of the letter sent to the authors after peer review is shown, indicating the most substantive concerns; minor comments are not usually included.</p> +</div> +</div> +<p class="paragraph">Thank you for submitting your article "Parallel Visual Circuitry in a Basal Chordate" for consideration by <i>eLife</i>. Your article has been reviewed by Ronald Calabrese as the Senior Editor, a Reviewing Editor, Oliver Hobert, and two reviewers. The reviewers have opted to remain anonymous.</p> +<p class="paragraph">The reviewers have discussed the reviews with one another and the Reviewing Editor has drafted this decision to help you prepare a revised submission.</p> +<p class="paragraph">The reviewers – and the Reviewing Editor – agree that the manuscript reports an interesting, exciting set of findings that provide new insight into how visual systems evolve. However, there is also agreement that the evidence behind the GABA receptors being involved in the behavioral response to dimming is entirely indirect, and would be substantially strengthened by a pharmacological parallel to the Glutamate receptor antagonist data. That is, according to the disinhibition model, acute blockade of GABA(A) receptors with a pharmacological antagonist should produce a "hyperactive" movement phenotype akin to the <i>frm</i> mutant animal, but one that should still be capable of phototaxis (but not a dimming response). Such a result would provide an elegant "double dissociation" that would parallel the findings with the AMPA receptor antagonist.</p> +<p class="paragraph">There is also agreement that the manuscript requires an extensive revision to the Introduction that puts the work in a broader context. At present, the manuscript begins largely with a description of the <i>Ciona</i> connectome, in relation to other complete connectomes, and then plunges directly into a more detailed description of ganglia, cells and synapses. A broader audience could be engaged by the work if the authors identified the key question of interest, and provides some of the background material currently found in the Discussion section, before diving into the pertinent details.</p> +<p class="paragraph"><i>Reviewer #1:</i></p> +<p class="paragraph">How the functional architecture of visual systems has evolved to subserve different behavioral goals is a fundamental question of broad interest. At present, while we have a deep understanding of visual system organization in a few experimental models, such a fundamental question can be enriched through the exploration of evolutionarily divergent organisms. In this context, Smith and colleagues integrate a new description of neurotransmitter expression patterns, ultrastructural connectivity, pharmacology and behavior to derive new insights into the architecture of the Ascidian <i>Ciona</i> visual system.</p> +<p class="paragraph">First, by mapping RNA expression patterns onto neurons spanning the <i>Ciona</i> nervous system using a combination of HCR in situs and image registration, they assign neurotransmitter types to many neurons. Importantly, these studies reveal three classes of ocellus photoreceptors – one that uses glutamate as a transmitter, one that uses GABA, and one that appears to release both. Next, using a glutamate receptor antagonist, they demonstrate that blockade of signaling from glutamatergic photoreceptors blocks phototaxis, but does not affect a second behavior evoked by transient dimming. Finally, consistent with the idea that a subset of photoreceptors could control the dimming response by depolarizing to darkness, and releasing GABA, the authors describe a mutant in which visual input to motor pathways is disrupted, leading to an animal that swims constitutively.</p> +<p class="paragraph">Overall, this manuscript reports an interesting, exciting set of findings that provide new insight into how visual systems evolve. I find the idea that there might be photoreceptors that appear to hyperpolarize to light and release GABA particularly exciting, and it will be fascinating to learn more about how these photoreceptors are related to retinal and pineal photoreceptors in vertebrates. However, I do feel that the evidence behind these receptors being involved in the behavioral response to dimming is entirely indirect, and would be substantially strengthened by a pharmacological parallel to the Glutamate receptor antagonist data. That is, according to the disinhibition model, acute blockade of GABA(A) receptors with a pharmacological antagonist should produce a "hyperactive" movement phenotype akin to the <i>frm</i> mutant animal, but one that should still be capable of phototaxis (but not a dimming response). Such a result would provide an elegant "double dissociation" that would parallel the findings with the AMPA receptor antagonist.</p> +<p class="paragraph"><i>Reviewer #2:</i></p> +<p class="paragraph">The fact that there is a full map of connections in <i>Ciona</i> provides a great opportunity to dissect circuits. Even better, the tools are there to perform some genetic and pharmacological pertubations, and evaluate effects on behavior. This study begins to exploit these features in a study of the <i>Ciona</i> visual system. The authors dug deeper into two circuits that begin with photoreception. They used transgenic reporter animals and in situ hybridization to define the use of two classical neurotransmitters, glutamate and GABA. Surprisingly, one type of photoreceptor uses GABA, an inhibitory neurotransmitter not previously described as used by photoreceptors in any species. From the known connections, they also make a case for how the two circuits are connected, and further suggest that one of the circuits is disinhibitory, perhaps along with other sensory inputs, for oscillatory swimming behavior. Through the use of a specific antagonist for a glutamate receptor they are able to show that one of the photoreceptor circuits is involved with detection of the direction of light (phototaxis), using a behavioral assay. Interestingly, inhibition of phototaxis has no effect on the other circuit, which detects dimming. However, it is likely that there is cross talk between the two photoreceptor circuits, as suggested by the known anatomy.</p> +<p class="paragraph">Overall this study provides a very nice example of photoreceptor directed behavior as controlled by two different circuits. It provides food for though regarding the evolution of different types of visually guided behaviors and the use of different types of photoreceptors. Optogenetic manipulations and calcium imaging (tried by the authors but did not work due to technical limitations) would greatly add to this story, but as it stands it constitutes a very nice addition to our understanding of a sensory circuit and behavior.</p> + + + + + <span class="doi doi--article-section"><a href="https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.44753.036" class="doi__link">https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.44753.036</a></span> + </div> + +</section> + + + + <section + class="article-section " + id="SA2" + data-behaviour="ArticleSection" + data-initial-state="closed" +> + + <header class="article-section__header"> + <h2 class="article-section__header_text">Author response</h2> + </header> + + <div class="article-section__body"> + <p class="paragraph"><i>The reviewers – and the reviewing editor – agree that the manuscript reports an interesting, exciting set of findings that provide new insight into how visual systems evolve. […] A broader audience could be engaged by the work if the authors identified the key question of interest, and provides some of the background material currently found in the Discussion section, before diving into the pertinent details.</i></p> +<p class="paragraph">In our revised manuscript we have thoroughly addressed the reviewers concerns and have included extensive new data from behavioral studies using a GABA receptor antagonist (Figure 7 in the revised manuscript, and related text). As you will read in the text, our results with the GABA receptor antagonist (picrotoxin) agree thoroughly with our disinhibition model (and with our observations of the <i>frm</i> mutant). The use of the GABA receptor antagonist was an excellent suggestion, and we feel that the results presented here greatly strengthen our model. As you will see in Figure 7, picrotoxin (like the <i>frm</i> mutant) leads to increased spontaneous swimming. Moreover, picrotoxin also leads to a dramatic reduction in the dimming response. We then show with use of picrotoxin combined with the AMPAR antagonist perampanel that the residual dimming response is due to parallel activation of the excitatory circuit. Finally, we show that picrotoxin-treated larvae are still capable of phototaxis. However, we observed that the phototaxis ability of the picrotoxin-treated larvae was somewhat dampened in comparison to controls, which we attribute to excitotoxicity of prolonged picrotoxin exposure (Movie5 documents the toxicity of prolonged picrotoxin exposure).</p> +<p class="paragraph">We have also extensively rewritten the Introduction along the lines suggested by the reviewer. Additionally, as requested, we have included in the text the number of animals tested using the pOpsin1/VGAT Kaede combination (n=5). Finally, we have collected additional data on neurotransmitter use by cells of the motor ganglion. These additional data are presented in revised versions of Figure 4 and Figure 4-figure supplement 1. Our conclusions regarding the minimal circuit are unchanged by this additional data; however, we are revising our neurotransmitter assignment to the anterior pair of ACINs. This reassignment was undertaken after consultation with Kerrianne Ryan (author of the <i>Ciona</i> connectome manuscript). We also include an approved personal communication from Dr. Ryan in this section.</p> + + + + + <span class="doi doi--article-section"><a href="https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.44753.037"
