Since it is possible to recognize with certainty numerous specific neurones in the CNS of
crustaceans, molluscs and insects, they are valuable material for the study of variations in …

Most of the research discussed in this volume elucidates the neuronal basis of behavior with
emphasis on the bioelectric properties and synaptic interactions of crustacean or insect …

Crustacean preparations have been successfully used for more than 50 years to investigate
the principles which enable nerve cells and neural circuitry to perform in a wide variety of …

This book represents Part 2 of a venture started by distinguished neuroscientists to visualize
and advertise the experimentally advantageous preparations of the crustacean nervous …

It is from some of the original work of Wiersma that the concept of identified neurons
emerged. The idea that a single unique neuron could be repeatedly studied in different …

The preceding chapters have outlined the nervous, muscular, and sensory equipment of
crustaceans and have raised the question: how does this equipment generate behavior? In …

There has been little progress since the classical anatomical studies in understanding the
form and function of the nervous system of echinoderms until relatively recently. There is …

Single units which discharged with regular spontaneous rhythms without intentional
stimulation were observed in the ventral nerve cord by intracellular recording close to the …

Part I. Muscle Receptor Organs of the Crayfish. Some interesting structures were discovered
in the abdomens of certain Crustacea by JS Alexandrowicz (Quart. J. Micr. Sci.(1951) 92 …

Identified neurons in the stomatogastric ganglion of the lobster were examined and
reconstructed by serial section electron microscopy. Each motor neuron consists of a soma …
