..., the pneumostome, have been identified and their activity can be monitored in the semi-intact preparation using electrophysiological recordings. In this study, we used both intact animals and semi-intact preparations to identify novel changes in the respiratory central pattern generator following operant...

...M. R. Lowe; G. E. Spencer SUMMARY The aim of this study was to investigate the neural basis of operant conditioning in a semi-intact preparation of the pond snail, Lymnaea stagnalis . Lymnaea learns, via operant conditioning, to reduce its aerial respiratory behaviour in response to an aversive...

...Elaine Colebrook; Ken Lukowiak ABSTRACT A semi-intact preparation of Aplysia californica was used to monitor simultaneously behavioural and motor neurone responses during classical conditioning of the gill withdrawal reflex. Gill motor neurone responses and gill withdrawal responses were both...
