The omega neurons (ON1s) are a mirror-symmetrical pair of identified prothoracic auditory interneurons of crickets which have been previously described as intraganglionic. Using intracellular techniques we stained ON1s of female Teleogryllus oceanicus and found that many ON1s have axons which project anteriorly out of the prothoracic ganglion. The ascending axon arises contralateral to the soma...

Neuronal migration involves coordinated extension of the leading process and translocation of the soma, but the relative contribution of different subcellular regions, including the leading process and cell rear, in driving soma translocation remains unclear. By local manipulation of cytoskeletal components in restricted regions of cultured neurons, we examined the molecular machinery underlyin...

The nociceptive sensory neurons (N cells) in the leech Hirudo medicinalis contact other neurons through conventional synapses in the neuropile and through baskets of processes that wrap the somata of particular cells. These axosomatic contacts are made with the pressure (P) and N sensory neurons in the adjacent segmental ganglia, but not with cells within the same ganglion as the wrapping cell....

O presente artigo tem como objetivo apresentar uma possível análise interpretativa da jornada realizada pelo protagonista do jogo eletrônico Soma (2015) Katábasis. Com base na definição de Katábasis apresentada por Bernabé (2015), são apontados os elementos basilares que possibilitam classificar tal viagem ao submundo. Além disso, o busca assinalar a Inferno ou mundo dos mortos sofreu modificaç...
