... of alcohol, from whole-animal behavior to the activity of single neurons. Invertebrate Intoxication Social history Neural circuit Neurons Although alcohol is a widely used drug with significant behavioral, health and economic impacts, the cellular mechanisms of alcohol intoxication...

... for monitoring the activity of neural circuits in unfettered, freely behaving zebrafish ( Danio rerio ). Zebrafish respond to unexpected tactile stimuli with short- or long-latency escape behaviors, which are mediated by distinct neural circuits. Using dipole electrodes immersed in the aquarium, we measured...

...D. Cofer; G. Cymbalyuk; W. J. Heitler; D. H. Edwards SUMMARY The neural circuitry and biomechanics of kicking in locusts have been studied to understand their roles in the control of both kicking and jumping. It has been hypothesized that the same neural circuit and biomechanics governed both...

...Melina E. Hale SUMMARY The startle response is a model system for examining the neural basis of behavior because of its relatively simple neural circuit organization and kinematic pattern. In fishes, the two primary types of startle behavior differ in their initial movements. In the C-start type...
