The Johnston’s Organ neurons (JONs) form chemical and electrical synapses onto the giant
fiber neuron (GF), as part of the neuronal circuit that mediates the GF escape response in …

We show that a subset of sound-detecting Johnston's Organ neurons (JONs) in Drosophila
melanogaster, which express the transcription factors Engrailed (En) and Invected (Inv), form …

Aplysia californica is an attractive model organism for cellular and systems neuroscience.
Currently, there is a growing body of sequence data from Aplysia that includes many …

To address the general problem of intersegmental coordination of oscillatory neuronal
networks, we have studied the leech heartbeat central pattern generator. The core of this pattern …

There is ample evidence linking octopamine (OA) and tyramine (TA) to several
neurophysiological functions in arthropods. In our laboratory we use the freshwater prawn …

Specific labeling of individual neurons and neuronal processes is virtually an everyday task
for neuroscientists. Many traditional ways for delivery of intracellular dyes have limitations in …

Here we report the characterization of an octopamine/tyramine (OA/TA or TyrR1) receptor (OA/TA
Mac ) cloned from the freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii, an animal used …

A cDNA encoding a potassium channel of the two-pore domain family (K2p) of leak channels
was cloned from the CNS of the marine opisthobranch Aplysia californica. This is the first …

A cDNA encoding a two-pore domain potassium (K2p) channel subunit, AcK2p2, was
cloned from the CNS of the marine opisthobranch Aplysia californica. This is the second K2p …

The synapse between auditory Johnston’s Organ neurons (JONs) and the giant fiber (GF) of
Drosophila is structurally mixed, being composed of cholinergic chemical synapses and …
