Potassium Movements in a Central Nervous Ganglion of Limnaea Stagnalis (l.) (gastropoda :pulmonata)

Calcium regulation in the freshwater mollusc, Limnaea stagnalis (L.) (Gastropoda: Pulmonata). I. The effect of internal and external calcium concentration.

Electrophysiology of the giant nerve cell bodies of Limnaea stagnalis (L.) (Gastropoda: Pulmonata).

The giant somata (cell bodies) of neurones in the central ganglia of Limnaea stagnalis (L.) have become material for several lines of neurobiological research. For example, the electrical responses of these cells have been employed in pharmacological studies (Vulfius & Zeimal, 1967; Vulfius et al. 1967; Zeimal & Vulfius, 1967; Jurchenko, Vulfius & Zeimal, 1973; Moreton & Gardner, 1974). Also, t...

Developmental toxicity of metaldehyde in the embryos of 1 Lymnaea stagnalis ( Gastropoda : Pulmonata ) co - exposed 2

Vascular supply of the central nervous system of the land snail Megalobulimus oblongus (Gastropoda, Pulmonata).

The vascularization of the central nervous system of the snail Megalobulimus oblongus was studied by injection of carmine-gelatin solution into the arterial system and using a histochemical technique for the detection of alkaline phosphatase. The central nervous system of M. oblongus is irrigated by the anterior aorta, from which a series of small branches emerge that supply the subesophageal n...

Cerebrin prohormone processing, distribution and action in Aplysia californica.

The isolation, characterization, and bioactivity in the feeding circuitry of a novel neuropeptide in the Aplysia californica central nervous system are reported. The 17-residue amidated peptide, NGGTADALYNLPDLEKIamide, has been termed cerebrin due to its primary location in the cerebral ganglion. Liquid chromatographic purification guided by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-f...
