“Ringer”, solutions and some notes on the physiological basis of their ionic composition
TL;DR: The composition of about 100 physiological salines for use with fish, amphibia, mammals, birds, annelids, crustacea, insects and molluscs is given together with analyses of the blood composition of some of the species of animals most frequently used in physiological experiments.

Discharge patterns of coxal levator and depressor motoneurones of the cockroach, periplaneta americana
Keir G. Pearson,J. F. Iles +1 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that levator motoneurones are driven by a group of bursting interneurones which simultaneously inhibit the ongoing depressor activity.
Book ChapterDOI
Nature of electrocortical potentials and synaptic organizations in cerebral and cerebellar cortex.
TL;DR: This chapter presents two aspects of cortical electrophysiology that become amenable to analysis because of identifying spontaneous and evoked slow potentials as algebraically summated postsynaptic potentials, generated in varying proportions in the soma-dendritic membrane of cortical neurons by complexly organized systems of excitatory and inhibitory elements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Autogenic rhythmicity in the abdominal ganglia of the crayfish: the control of swimmeret movements.
K. Ikeda,C.A.G. Wiersma +1 more
TL;DR: Complete deafferentation and isolation from the rest of the central nervous system does not prevent the appearance of rhythmic, coordinated motor discharges in the first roots of the first five abdominal ganglia, showing that duplicate pathways are involved.

The specific ionic conductances and the ionic movements across the motoneuronal membrane that produce the inhibitory post-synaptic potential
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of current flow on the membrane potential of cardiac muscle.
TL;DR: An account of experiments designed to investigate the cardiac action potential by applying suitable pulses of current at various stages in the cardiac cycle is contained.
Journal ArticleDOI
Processes of excitation in the dendrites and in the soma of single isolated sensory nerve cells of the lobster and crayfish.
TL;DR: The stretch receptor organs of Alexandrowicz in lobster and crayfish possess sensory neurons which have their cell bodies in the periphery and it is concluded that, once threshold excitation is reached, the generator potential within slow cell dendrites is well maintained for the duration of stretch.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vagal and sympathetic effects on the pacemaker fibers in the sinus venosus of the heart
TL;DR: It is proposed that the fibers showing the largest fall in membrane potential during diastole are the pacemaker fibers of the heart, and that the rest of the preparation is excited by conduction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Further study of soma, dendrite, and axon excitation in single neurons.
TL;DR: The present investigation continues a previous study in which the soma-dendrite system of sensory neurons was excited by stretch deformation of the peripheral dendrite portions, and it is thought that normally the over-all duration of axon impulses is shorter.
