Electrophysiological responses to light of neurons in the eye and statocyst of Lymnaea stagnalis.
Lymnaea can be classically conditioned by pairing photic stimulation with a rotational stimulus. The electrophysiological properties of the Lymnaea photoreceptors and statocyst neurons are incompletely known. There are 2 types of ocular photoreceptors and 3 types of statocyst "hair cells." Type A photoreceptors had a response latency from 200 to 400 ms, with a graded depolarizing response havin...
متن کاملMolecular detection of the infection with Fasciola hepatica in field-collected snails of Galba truncatula and Lymnaea stagnalis from West Azarbaijan, Iran
The liver fluke, Fasciola hepatica, is considered as the most common cause of fasciolosis in both domestic livestock and human. This study was carried out to detect the prevalence of the larval stages of F. hepatica in the snails Galba truncatula and Lymnaea stagnalis in West Azarbaijan, Iran. Snail collection was performed through searching 28 freshwater habitats from May to December 2010. Fol...
متن کاملThe shadow-induced withdrawal response, dermal photoreceptors, and their input to the higher-order interneuron RPeD11 in the pond snail Lymnaea stagnalis.
The shadow-induced withdrawal response in Lymnaea stagnalis is mediated by dermal photoreceptors located on the foot, mantle cavity, and skin around the pneumostome area. Here, we determined whether we could obtain a neural correlate of the withdrawal response elicited by a shadow in a higher-order central neuron that mediates withdrawal behavior. We measured the electrophysiological properties...
متن کاملEffect of acute temperature change on lung respiration of the mollusc Lymnaea stagnalis
1. Temperature-dependent effects on respiratory behaviour as well as the corresponding temperature-dependent activities of identified neurons within the respiratory network of the pulmonate snail Lymnaea stagnalis were investigated. 2. Lymnaea lung ventilation terminated at low temperatures (under 10 1C) while temperature elevation increased ventilation rates. The respiratory central pattern ge...
متن کاملSensory input from the osphradium modulates the response to memory-enhancing stressors in Lymnaea stagnalis.
In the freshwater environment species often rely on chemosensory information to modulate behavior. The pond snail, Lymnaea stagnalis, is a model species used to characterize the causal mechanisms of long-term memory (LTM) formation. Chemical stressors including crayfish kairomones and KCl enhance LTM formation (≥24 h) in Lymnaea; however, how these stressors are sensed and the mechanism by whic...
