Central pattern generator for escape swimming in the notaspid sea slug Pleurobranchaea californica.
- J. Jing, R. Gillette
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of neurophysiology
- 1 February 1999
Escape swimming in the notaspid opisthobranch Pleurobranchaea is an episode of alternating dorsal and ventral body flexions that overrides all other behaviors. We have explored the structure of the… Expand
Neuronal elements that mediate escape swimming and suppress feeding behavior in the predatory sea slug Pleurobranchaea.
- J. Jing, R. Gillette
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of neurophysiology
- 1 November 1995
1. The white, bilaterally paired A1 interneurons of the cerebropleural ganglion of Pleurobranchaea californica fire rhythmic bursts of action potentials during escape swimming behavior. We studied… Expand
Interfering with Nitric Oxide Measurements
- X. Zhang, Won-Suk Kim, +4 authors J. Sweedler
- Medicine, Chemistry
- The Journal of Biological Chemistry
- 13 December 2002
4,5-Diaminofluorescein (DAF-2) is widely used for detection and imaging of NO based on its sensitivity, noncytotoxicity, and specificity. In the presence of oxygen, NO and NO-related reactive… Expand
The role of the metacerebral giant neuron in the feeding behavior ofPleurobranchaea
- R. Gillette, W. Davis
- Biology
- Journal of comparative physiology
- 2004
SummaryThe metacerebral giant (MCG) neurons of the molluskPleurobranchaea have been analyzed using a wide range of methods (cobalt staining, histochemical, biophysical and electrophysiological) on… Expand
Nitric Oxide Synthase Activity in the Molluscan CNS
- L. Moroz, D. Chen, M. Gillette, R. Gillette
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of neurochemistry
- 1 February 1996
Abstract: Putative nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity was assayed in molluscan CNS through histochemical localization of NADPH‐diaphorase and through measurement of l‐arginine/l‐citrulline… Expand
Evolution and function in serotonergic systems.
- R. Gillette
- Biology, Medicine
- Integrative and comparative biology
- 25 July 2006
Serotonergic systems of invertebrate and vertebrate central nervous systems (CNS) are functionally similar in multiple characters. Serotonin (5-HT) neurons dispersed throughout the CNS of… Expand
Fast and slow activation kinetics of voltage-gated sodium channels in molluscan neurons.
- W. Gilly, R. Gillette, M. McFarlane
- Chemistry, Medicine
- Journal of neurophysiology
- 1 May 1997
Whole cell patch-clamp recordings of Na current (I(Na)) were made under identical experimental conditions from isolated neurons from cephalopod (Loligo, Octopus) and gastropod (Aplysia,… Expand
Circadian rhythm of firing rate recorded from single cells in the rat suprachiasmatic brain slice
- D. J. Green, R. Gillette
- Biology, Medicine
- Brain Research
- 5 August 1982
Abstract Brain slices, containing the suprachiasmatic nuclei, of rats were removed at various times of the fay and the firing rates of single cells were recorded. The firing rates were found to… Expand
Escape swim network interneurons have diverse roles in behavioral switching and putative arousal in Pleurobranchaea.
- J. Jing, R. Gillette
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of neurophysiology
- 1 March 2000
Escape swimming in the predatory sea slug Pleurobranchaea is a dominant behavior that overrides feeding, a behavioral switch caused by swim-induced inhibition of feeding command neurons. We have now… Expand
Serotonin‐immunoreactivity in peripheral tissues of the opisthobranch molluscs Pleurobranchaea californica and Tritonia diomedea
- L. Moroz, L. Sudlow, J. Jing, R. Gillette
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of comparative neurology
- 2 June 1997
The distribution of serotonin (5‐HT)‐immunoreactive elements in peripheral organs of the sea‐slugs Pleurobranchaea californica and Tritonia diomedea was studied in cryostat sections. For… Expand
