Many tadpoles respond to insect predators by developing deeper, and sometimes longer,
tails. It has been assumed that the larger tail enhances aspects of swimming performance …

Crayfish are capable of two rapid, escape reflexes that are mediated by two pairs of giant
interneurons, the lateral giants (LG) and the medial giants (MG), which respond to threats …

Directional selectivities of mechanoreceptors that innervate filiform hairs on the crayfish
tailfan were investigated with unidirectional, sinusoidal, water-motion stimuli. These …

The inhibitory neurotransmitter of premotor nonspiking local interneurones in the crayfish
terminal abdominal ganglion was investigated physiologically and immunocytochemically …

In the first step toward identifying the neurotransmitter released from spiking interneurons of
both local and intersegmental groups in the crayfish terminal abdominal ganglion, the …

Crayfish escape from threatening stimuli by tailflipping. If a stimulus is applied to the rear,
crayfish escape up and forwards in a summersault maneuver that is mediated by the …

In the present study, biochemical and immunochemical methods were used to investigate
the presence and distribution of GABA, glutamate decarboxylase (GAD), GABABR1 and …

The ontogenetic cycle of the barnacle Balanus amphitrite (= Amphibalanus
amphitrite)(Darwin, 1854) includes a cyprid that binds submerged surfaces …

79: 1157–1166, 1998. The purpose of this study was to characterize the inhibitory …

The rewarding properties of drugs depend on their capacity to activate appetitive
motivational states. Because the mechanisms underlying natural reward are an important …
