The neuronal firing patterns in the pyloric network of crustaceans are remarkably consistent
among animals. Although this characteristic of the pyloric network is well‐known, the …

Research into the neuromechanical basis of behavior, either in biomechanics,
neuroethology, or neuroscience, is frequently limited by methods of data collection. Two of …

Crustacean cardioactive peptide (CCAP) elicited expression of the motor pattern that drives
coordinated swimmeret beating in crayfish and modulated this pattern in a dose-dependent …

Neuromodulatory actions that change the properties of proprioceptors or the muscle
movements to which they respond necessarily affect the feedback provided to the central …

This selective survey discusses the relative merits of various modeling approaches in
immunology that exhibit multiple attractors, and also assesses the ability of the different …

The mandibular motor pattern induced by the phosphodiesterase inhibitor 3-isobutyl-1-
methylxanthine (IBMX) in isolated locust suboesophageal ganglia (SOG) was investigated …

We combine electrophysiological and immunocytochemical analyses in the snail Lymnaea
stagnalis of M-CCAP1 and M-CCAP2, two molluscan peptides with structure similar to …

The stomatogastric ganglion (STG) of adult lobsters and crabs receives dense aminergic
and peptidergic projections. The neuropeptides are found in sensory neurons and in …

Recent work, combining direct study of ion channels and synapses with pharmacological
manipulations and realistic computer simulations, has deepened our understanding of how …

Adaptive changes in the output of neural circuits underlying rhythmic behaviors are relayed
to muscles via motor neuron activity. Presynaptic and postsynaptic properties of …
