... in the lobster nervous system, we hypothesized that they might function as neuromodulators, as is common for neuropeptides. We thus asked whether AMGSEFLamide modulates the rhythmic outputs of the cardiac ganglion and the stomatogastric ganglion. Physiological recordings showed that AMGSEFLamide potently...

...Amir Ayali SUMMARY A possible role of the insect stomatogastric nervous system (STNS) in ecdysis was first implied in early studies reporting on internal air pressure build-up in the digestive tract and air swallowing during ecdysis. The frontal ganglion, a major component of the insect STNS...

...Robert C. Elson; Allen I. Selverston ABSTRACT Evidence for a persistent Na + conductance was obtained in identified motor neurons of the gastric mill network in the stomatogastric ganglion of the spiny lobster Panulirus interruptus . The cells studied were the lateral gastric and lateral posterior...

...Petra Skiebe; Henning Schneider ABSTRACT The effects of four Diploptera punctata allatostatin peptides on the stomatogastric nervous system of the crab Cancer borealis were studied. All of the peptides had similar actions on the activity of neurons involved in rhythmic movements of the pyloric...

... neurone may be able to control an entire concert of related types of behaviour. The mechanisms for generating patterned output in the other stomatogastric CPG, the gastric mill network, which controls the ‘chewing’ movements of the gastric mill teeth, differ somewhat from those used by the pyloric...
