TL;DR: All the available evidence points to a great acuity of the olfactory sense in many fish species both in the capability and discriminating odorous chemicals.

TL;DR: An equation on an empirical basis is developed which provides an excellent relationship between the excitable state of the brain and a function of GABA metabolism which incorporates both changes in GABA level and changes in GAD activity.

TL;DR: Progress will depend on the acquisition of a wiring diagram of simple cardiovascular reflex arcs before attempts are made to study the functional interactions of regions in the brain that have been traditionally associated with central regulation of the circulation.

TL;DR: Anatomical, physiological and pharmacological relationships of adrenergic innervation, including Sympathectomy and supersensitivity to exogenous noradrenaline, are studied.

TL;DR: The striopallidal (extrapyramidal) system, which includes the rubro-olivo-cerebella-rubral loop and certain brain stem relay nuclei, and Vestibulospinal nervous pathways is studied.

TL;DR: The hippocampus and learning: the physiological approach and a hypothesis on the role of hippocampal potassium in information processing relevant to learning are presented.

TL;DR: The molluscan neuron, because of its large size and accessibility, has been an important model for studying the electrophysiology of nerve cells and the broad picture of how a neuronal membrane maintains internal potential and is responsive to changes in the environment is reviewed.

TL;DR: The distribution of the number of events/time bin has been studied in the context of statistical methods for testing the fit to an exponential distribution as mentioned in this paper, and the x-square goodness of fit test has been proposed.

TL;DR: The structure of the decapod crustacean eye and the interneurones of the optic nerve are studied, as well as other fibre types, to help clarify the role of fibre labelling in optics.

TL;DR: The relationship of the alpha- and beta-adrenergic receptor with the cAMP system is less clear in the brain than in the periphery, but some indications point also in the CNS to the fact that the alpha receptor is somehow connected with cGMP and beta receptor with cAMP.

TL;DR: Electrical Activity 4.5.1 Description of the receptor potential 4.4.2 Possible role of postillumination hyperpolarization Transmission to the first synapse 4.3.2 Membrane changes during illumination 4.1.1 Dark adaptation 4.2.2 Intensity of illumination.

TL;DR: Cerebellar architecture and Marr’s theory for cerebellar function: strengths and weaknesses of the theory and comments on the functional significance of the cortex.
