TEMPERATURE ACCLIMATION AND THE NERVOUS SYSTEM
- BiologyBiological 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
- BiologyZeitschrift für Zellforschung und Mikroskopische Anatomie
- 2004
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.)
- BiologyZeitschrift für Zellforschung und Mikroskopische Anatomie
- 2004
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.

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
- BiologyJournal of Comparative Physiology A
- 2004
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.
Nerve conduction theory: Some mathematical consequences of Bernstein's model

The generally accepted permeability theory of nerve conduction is presented in mathematical form. The resulting velocity formula is found to agree well with data on squid giant axon, but predicts…
CONDUCTION VELOCITY AND DIAMETER OF NERVE FIBERS

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.
