The Mechanism of Locomotion in Gastropod Molluscs
Whereas the broad outline of the mechanical events of locomotion can in most animals be readily visualized, the mechanism of propulsion in gastropods is less easily observed. Since the seventeenth century (Lister, 1694) a great deal of attention has been paid to this problem and a wealth of suggestions has been forthcoming; there is, however, a significant absence of convincing experimental dat...
متن کاملLabelling and Marketing of Bivalve and Gastropod Molluscs Retailed in Sardinia, Italy Between 2009 and 2013
The aim of the present survey was to investigate the correct enforcement of the Community rules on the labelling and marketing of bivalve and gastropod molluscs retailed in Sardinia, Italy between 2009 and 2013. A total of 1500 packages and labels for live bivalve and gastropod molluscs were considered. A total of 375 labels (25%) presented non-compliance concerning the wrong trade name and add...
متن کاملNon-synaptic neuronal mechanisms of learning and memory in gastropod molluscs.
Gastropod molluscs provide important model systems for investigating the behavioral and neural basis of associative and non-associative learning. Habituation, sensitization, classical and operant conditioning are studied in motor reflex and central pattern generator circuits. Although synaptic plasticity has long been recognized as playing a key role in molluscan learning circuits, non-synaptic...
متن کاملAxon Surface Infolding and Axon Size Can Be Quantitatively Related in Gastropod Molluscs
A quantitative estimate of infolding and of its effect on electrical characteristics in axons of different sizes is given by expressions based on the allometric equation, y = ax^. These expressions can be used to describe the effect of stretching the axon and the size dependence of the axo-somatic conductance ratio. The parameters in the allometric equation are determined for a range of axon si...
متن کاملA conserved location for the central nervous system control of mating behaviour in gastropod molluscs: evidence from a terrestrial snail.
We have investigated the role of the right mesocerebrum in the expression of mating behaviour in the garden snail Helix aspersa. Using an in vivo stimulation and recording technique, we provide evidence for both sensory and motor functions in the mesocerebral neuronal population. Some neurones were specifically sensitive to tactile stimuli delivered to the skin on the superior tentacles and aro...
