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 …

Electrical coupling in circuits can produce non‐intuitive circuit dynamics, as seen in both
experimental work from the crustacean stomatogastric ganglion and in computational …

During growth or degeneration neuronal surface area can change dramatically.
Measurements of membrane protein concentration, as in ion channel or ionic conductance …

In the ocean, the crab Cancer borealis is subject to daily and seasonal temperature
changes. Previous work, done in the presence of descending modulatory inputs, had shown …

Invertebrates have proven to be extremely useful model systems for gaining insights into the
neural and molecular mechanisms of sensory processing, motor control and higher …

It is difficult to answer important questions in neuroscience, such as:“how do neural circuits
generate behaviour?,” because research is limited by the complexity and inaccessibility of …

Much work has explored animal-to-animal variability and compensation in ion channel
expression. Yet, little is known regarding the physiological consequences of morphological …

The activity of neuronal circuits depends on the properties of the constituent neurons and
their underlying synaptic and intrinsic currents. We describe the effects of extreme changes …

Neuronal physiology depends on a neuron's ion channel composition and unique
morphology. Variable ion channel compositions can produce similar neuronal physiologies …

Within populations, individuals show a variety of behavioral preferences, even in the
absence of genetic or environmental variability. Neuromodulators affect these idiosyncratic …
