.... Responses to GABA and taurine had more negative reversal potentials and did not cross-desensitize with those elicited by glutamate or aspartate. Only a few neurones responded to applications of glycine or cysteine at resting potential; they responded with an inhibition of spiking at depolarized potentials...

...T. Pin; M. Crest; E. Ehile; G. Jacquet; M. Gola ABSTRACT We describe the anatomical and electrophysiological characteristics of a group of Helix nerve cells, styled P cells, that generate long-lasting depolarizations in response to repeated stimulations at low frequencies. Four neurones were...

.... From a quantitative study performed in various dorid neurones, they showed that the steady-state activating and inactivating processes of the A current were invariant between cells, while A current magnitude and inactivation kinetics varied in a cell specific manner. REFERENCES We...

...Matthias Chiquet; John G. Nicholls ABSTRACT After injury, neurones in the central nervous system (CNS) of the leech regenerate with a high degree of specificity. The aim of our experiments has been to study the sequential steps involved in neurite growth and synapse formation using isolated...

...J. P. C. Dumont; J. J. Wine ABSTRACT We describe the phasic neuromuscular system of the crayfish telson and establish its homology with the abdominal flexor system that provides the power stroke for tailflip escape responses. Three paired phasic telson muscles are innervated by 11 paired neurones...

...Richard B. Levine ABSTRACT During metamorphosis insects undergo dramatic changes in both form and behaviour. Cell birth and death, as well as neurone respecification all contribute to the overall reorganization of the nervous system. Within the visual and chemosensory processing areas of the insect...
