REPORT ON GIANT NERVE FIBRES IN NANOMIA

The Functioning of the Giant Nerve Fibres of the Squid. 1938 - J.Z. and the discovery of squid giant nerve fibres.

J.Z., to give him the title by which he was universally known, initially acquired an interest in cephalopods when working in Naples with Enrico Sereni in 1932 on the axons in the mantle connectives and stellar nerves of octopus. This led him to further studies at the Plymouth Marine Laboratory of some structures in the mantles of squid that he tentatively identified as giant nerve fibres (Young...

The Giant Nerve Fibres and Epistellar Body of Cephalopods

AT the hind end of the stellate ganglion of E l e d o n e m o s c h a t a there is a small yellow spot, about the size of a pin's head, which can be seen on examination of serial sections to consist of a closed vesicle. On account of its position it has been named the epistellar body (Young, 1929). It has been found in all the Octopods examined, though it is not always coloured yellow. Search w...

endometrial nerve fibres in endometriosis

endometriosis is a common gynaecological disease that can cause severe pelvic pain such as dysmenorrhoea and dyspareunia, however the mechanisms by which pain is generated are not well understood. nerve fibres in endometriotic plaques have been reported by several authors. we have recently demonstrated the presence of unmyelinated sensory nerve fibres (using the pan-neuronal marker pgp9.5) in t...

Conduction in Nerve Fibres

Data by E. A. Blair and Erlanger on the voltage-capacity curves and the nerve impulse velocities of each of several fibres in the same nerve trunk are related to Rashevsky's equation for the velocity of transmission in nerve. The results lend support to Rashevsky's analysis. Other empirical relations between the velocity and the parameters of the excitation equations indicate the correctness of...
