Most spiking neurons are divided into functional compartments: a dendritic input region, a
soma, a site of action potential initiation, an axon trunk and its collaterals for propagation of …

Neuronal circuits underlying rhythmic behaviors (central pattern generators: CPGs) can
generate rhythmic motor output without sensory input. However, sensory input is pivotal for …

Although neuromodulation of synapses is extensively documented, its consequences in the
context of network oscillations are not well known. We examine the modulation of synaptic …

The crustacean stomatogastric ganglion (STG) is modulated by a large number of amines
and neuropeptides that are found in descending pathways from anterior ganglia or reach the …

Neuropeptides seem to play an important role when the CNS is challenged. In order to
obtain better insights into the central peptidergic effects, it is essential to monitor their …

Neuropeptides, the most diverse group of signaling molecules, are responsible for
regulating a variety of cellular and behavioral processes in all vertebrate and invertebrate …

В монографии изложены современные представления о функциональной активности
нервных центров беспозвоночных животных. Особое внимание уделено строению и …

With a highly organized stereotypic behavior and a simplified neuronal system that is
characterized by cellular modularity, crayfish (Orconectes rusticus) represents an excellent …

The complexity of human uterine function and regulation is one of the great wonders of
nature and represents a daunting challenge to unravel. This book is dedicated to the …

In crustaceans, the X-organ-sinus gland (XO-SG) neurosecretory system is formed of distinct
populations of neurons that produce two families of neuropeptides: crustacean …
