...H. Neumeister; B. Ripley; T. Preuss; W. F. Gilly ABSTRACT In Loligo opalescens , a sudden visual stimulus (flash) elicits a stereotyped, short-latency escape response that is controlled primarily by the giant axon system at 15 °C. We used this startle response as an assay to examine the effects...

...G. O. Mackie; R. W. Meech ABSTRACT The ring giant axon in the outer nerve ring of the jellyfish Aglantha digitale is a multinucleate syncytium 85 % of which is occupied by an electron-dense fluid-filled vacuole apparently in a Gibbs–Donnan equilibrium with the surrounding band of cytoplasmic cortex...

... conduction pathway in the tentacles causing graded, tonic contractions of all the tentacles during slow swimming. The pacemakers, the carrier system and the relay system all contribute to the production of excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) in a giant axon that runs in the outer nerve ring (ring...

...Ian R. C. Cooke; David L. Macmillan ABSTRACT High-speed cinematography of the escape behaviour of freelymoving crayfish showed that the thoracic and abdominal appendages exhibit stereotyped movements in giant axon-mediated tail flips and in non-giant flips. Three distinct classes of non-giant tail...
