..., we investigated the roles of the co-transmitters of the pyloric suppressor (PS) neurons, which are located in the stomatogastric nervous system (STNS) of the lobster Homarus americanus . The PS neurons are known to contain histamine; using RT-PCR, we identified a second co-transmitter...

...Patsy S. Dickinson; Elizabeth A. Stemmler; Andrew E. Christie SUMMARY Modulation of neural circuits in the crustacean stomatogastric nervous system (STNS) allows flexibility in the movements of the foregut musculature. The extensive repertoire of such resulting motor patterns in dietary generalists...

Long-lasting activation of rhythmic neuronal activity by a novel mechanosensory system in the crustacean stomatogastric nervous system. J. Neurophysiol...

...Ann Jane Tierney; Jennifer Blanck; A. Joffre Mercier ABSTRACT Whole-mount immunocytochemistry was used to map the location of FMRFamide-like peptides in the crayfish ( Procambarus clarkii ) stomatogastric nervous system. This system contains the pyloric and gastric mill central pattern generators...
