The Rate of Conduction in Stretched and Unstretched Nerves
TLDR
The occurrence of increased activity of the thyroid gland in rainbow trout at the time of transformation from parr to silvery smolt and the time factor in chromatophore responses is studied.

This Thesis is brought to you for free and open access by the Theses and Dissertations at Loyola eCommons. It has been accepted for inclusion in Master's Theses by an authorized administrator of…
TEMPERATURE ACCLIMATION AND THE NERVOUS SYSTEM

    Biological reviews of the Cambridge Philosophical Society
  • 1974
1. The conduction velocity of the compound action potential of peripheral nerves shows compensatory acclimation to temperature in a fish, a snail, a crab, and probably also in the frog. The heat and…
Zur Feinstruktur des dorsalen Riesenfasersystems im Bauchmark des Regenwurms
TLDR
The segmentally arranged somata of the dorsal giant fibres in the ventral nerve cord of the earthworms Lumbricus terrestris L., is described and these neurones are compared with other neurones of invertebrates and vertebrates.
Monoaminergic mechanisms in the nervous system of Lumbricus terrestris (L.)

    Zeitschrift für Zellforschung und Mikroskopische Anatomie
  • 2004
TLDR
It is established that the adrenergic neurons in the stomatogastric nervous system have an exciting function on the pharynx, whereas a direct monoaminergic influence of the muscular movements of the intestine probably does not exist.
Licht- und elektronenmikroskopische Studien am Nervensystem des Regenwurms
Zusammenfassung1.Die licht- und elektronenmikroskopisch untersuchte Hülle des Bauchmarkes vom Regenwurm besteht aus peritonealen Deckzellen (Coelomepithel), Muskulatur, Bindegewebe, Blutgefäßen und…
Les neurocordes dorsales chez Eisenia foetida

  • Biology
    Zeitschrift für Zellforschung und Mikroskopische Anatomie
  • 2004
RésuméLes neurocordes dorsales chez Eisenia foetida sont entourées de fibres conjonctives plus grossières qui prolongent le périlemme recouvrant la chaîne nerveuse et, intérieurement, de fibrilles…
Funktionelle anatomie der dorsalen riesenfaser-systeme von Lumbricus terrestris L. (Annelida, Oligoehaeta)
The microanatomy of the dorsal giant fibers of Lumbricus terrestris is described systematically. Moreover, two afferent giant interneurons and 4 pairs of giant motor neurons are individually…
Mikroanatomic des Bauchmarks von Lumbricus terrestris L. (Annelida, Oligochaeta)
AbstractNerve cells and tracts in the ventral nerve cord of the earthworm Lumbricus terrestris are thoroughly described and partly individually identified: sensory bundles, ventral giant fibers,…
Rapid escape reflexes in aquatic oligochaetes: variations in design and function of evolutionarily conserved giant fiber systems
TLDR
It is hypothesized that differential predation pressures, together with fundamental differences in lifestyle and habitat, have led to this divergence in the structure and function of evolutionarily conserved sets of homologous giant interneurons.

complex systems of nerve fibers much larger than any others in the same animal have been evolved several times, apparently independently, in the animal kingdom.

TLDR
The method employed is a favorable one from the standpoint of the conservation of fibers, as dissection is limited to freeing the nerves of adherent fascia, and it is not necessary to use small strands.
