Studies of the stomatogastric nervous systems of lobsters and crabs have led to numerous insights into the cellular and circuit mechanisms that generate rhythmic motor patterns. The …
COLOUR vision in humans and Old World monkeys begins with the differential activation of three types of cone photoreceptor which are maximally sensitive to short (S), medium (M) …
The cerebral cortex, occupying over 70 percent of our brain mass, is key to any understanding of the workings--and disorders--of the human brain. offering a …
A complex cascade of neuronal, hormonal, muscular, and metabolic events leads to the initiation and maintenance of a behavioral act. Hormones are released to mobilize metabolic …
The nervous system is evolutionarily conservative compared to the peripheral appendages that it controls. However, species-specific behaviors may have arisen from very small …
The brain is a dynamic system that is non-linear at multiple levels of analysis. Characterization of its non-linear dynamics is fundamental to our understanding of brain …

Serotonergic neurons are present in all phyla that possess nervous systems. In most of these phyla, serotonin modulates important behaviours, including feeding, sexual and …
All NERVOUS SYSTEMS, though highly intercon-nected, can be subdivided into functional circuits that are frequently anatomically distinct from one another. A circuit is defined here as …
MOTOR circuits are often thought to be physically separate from their neuromodulatory systems1, 2. We report here a counter example, where neurons within a circuit appear to …
