Helminth parasites of vertebrates usually select very specific regions or habitats in their
hosts, and this is often preceded by a tortuous migration through various host organs …

The way in which the dimensions of neurons change during postembryonic development
has important effects on their electrotonic structures. Theoretically, only one mode of growth …

Acetylcholine is known to be a neurotransmitter in crustacean central nervous systems, but
the numbers and distribution of cholinergic neurons in the segmental ganglia have not been …

The expression of both swimmeret and postural motor patterns in crayfish (Pacifastacus
leniusculus) were affected by stimulation of a second root of a thoracic ganglion. The …

We present several relatively simple procedures for studying the physiology of near-field
mechanoreceptors in crustaceans which extend previous measures of sensitivity. The …

Primary sensory neurons that are motoneuron‐like in morphology and often nonspiking
(transmit afferent signals as graded depolarizations) characterize an unusual type of stretch …

One of the central goals of neuroscience research is to determine how networks of neurons
control and modify behavior. One of the most influential model systems for this kind of …
