The crustacean cardiac ganglion (CG) comprises nine neurons that provide rhythmic drive to
the heart. The CG is the direct target of multiple modulators. Synapsin‐like immunoreactivity …

In situ and in vitro identification and characterization of cardiac ganglion neurons in the crab,
Carcinus maenas. The aim of this study was to investigate the intrinsic membrane properties …

Monoaminergic and cholinergic drugs accelerated bursting activity of the cardiac ganglion
(CG). Dopaminergic antagonists suppressed accelerated CG activity by stimulation of …

The cardiac ganglion of Portunus sanguinolentus exhibits spontaneous rhythmic activity
when isolated. The ganglion contains five large and four small intrinsic neurons and is …

The crustacean cardiac ganglion (CG) is composed of 6-16 neurons, 9 in most decapods,
that autonomously provide rhythmically recurring barrages of action potentials to activate the …

Neuromodulators can change the output of neural circuits. The crustacean cardiac ganglion
(CG) drives the contractions of the heart. The CG is a direct target for neurohormones that …

In regulating neurophysiological systems, neuromodulators exert multiple actions at multiple
sites in such a way as to control the activity in an integrated manner. We are studying how …

The location and role in burst formation of electrotonic and chemically mediated interaction
among cardiac ganglion neurons of Portunus sainguinolentus was studied with intra-and …

Polyclonal antibodies were raised in rabbits against synthetic crustacean cardioactive
peptide (CCAP) conjugated to bovine thyroglobulin, and were used to map CCAP …

We are studying the functional “logic” of neuromodulatory actions in a simple central pattern
generator (CPG)-effector system, the heart of the blue crab Callinectes sapidus. The …
