The Mucoproteins of the Snails, Helix Aspersa and Helix Pomatia
The problem of the structure of complex proteins containing carbohydrates in their molecule is still a subject of discussion. The fundamental questions which have been debated during the last decades and which have been the subject of many controversies are concerned with the nature of the carbohydrate group present in the molecule of these substances. Since the discovery of mucoproteins or muc...
متن کاملThe Evaporation of Water from Helix Aspersa
It is known that the activity of terrestrial pulmonates is connected in some way to the extensive and often rapid fluctuations in water content which are characteristic of these animals (Howes & Wells, 1934; Wells, 1944). The work of Hughes & Kerkut (1956) and Kerkut & Taylor (1956) has further shown that the activity of the pedal ganglion of slugs changes with the osmotic pressure of the bathi...
متن کاملA computational analysis of central CO2 chemosensitivity in Helix aspersa.
We created a single-compartment computer model of a CO(2) chemosensory neuron using differential equations adapted from the Hodgkin-Huxley model and measurements of currents in CO(2) chemosensory neurons from Helix aspersa. We incorporated into the model two inward currents, a sodium current and a calcium current, three outward potassium currents, an A-type current (I(KA)), a delayed rectifier ...
متن کاملSensory innervation of the ovotestis in the snail Helix aspersa.
Because oviposition in the land snail Helix aspersa is a metabolically expensive process coupled to a high fixed cost, one expects oviposition to occur only when the clutch size surpasses a minimum value at which the reproductive benefit exceeds the cost. We propose that neural innervation of the gonad allows H. aspersa to monitor oocyte production and ensure an adequate supply of gametes prior...
متن کاملAssociative learning phenomena in the snail (Helix aspersa): conditioned inhibition.
Two experiments using garden snails (Helix aspersa) showed conditioned inhibition using both retardation and summation tests. Conditioned inhibition is a procedure by which a stimulus becomes a predictor of the absence of a relevant event--the unconditioned stimulus (US). Typically, conditioned inhibition consists of pairings between an initially neutral conditioned stimulus, CS(2), and an effe...
