1. | Properties of the membrane currents ofDidinium nasutum have been investigated under voltage clamp in different solutions and after deciliation. |
2. | Theearly transient Ca2+ inward current activates in a voltage-dependent manner. Inactivation is both Ca2+ -dependent and voltage-dependent. |
3. | Alate Ca2+ current rises with time to peak > 50 ms and decays in the order of seconds. |
4. | Activation and inactivation of the late Ca2+ current is voltage-dependent. |
5. | The delayed outward current is activated by voltage. The kinetics of this K+ current, but not its amplitude, are enhanced in the presence of intracellular EGTA. |
6. | The two voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels are located in the cilia, whereas all K+ channels are restricted to the somatic membrane. |

1. | Direct contact between intra-epithelial nerve endings and ciliated cells was observed in frog (Rana pipiens) palate epithelium. |
2. | Electrical stimulation of the palatine nerve to the explant or the explant culture induced an increase in ciliary beat frequency in explant and outgrowth cells. |
3. | Atropine inhibited electrically stimulated ciliary beat frequency increase in the explant and outgrowth cells. |
4. | Gap junctional intercellular communication appears to be involved in the propagation of stimulated ciliary beat frequency increase from innervated to non-innervated ciliated cells. |

1. | In this commentary we discuss results obtained by a micromethod for the study of Cl– permeability across single nerve membranes from rabbit Deiters' neurons. |
2. | These results showed the presence of GABAA receptors on the nerve cell membrane cytoplasmic side. |
3. | We could show that these receptor complexes have a higher affinity for GABA than their extracellularly facing counterparts. Moreover, they present a phenomenon of desensitization. Another distinct property is that upon activation by GABA, they expose positive charges at their cytoplasmic mouths. |
4. | We propose that these receptor complexes could functionin situ as a device for extruding Cl– anions from the nerve cell interior. This phenomenon would create an electrochemical gradient for Cl– penetration into the cell upon the action of extracellular GABA, after its presynaptic release. |

1. | Paramecium bursaria was stimulated by a light spot of 10–15 m diameter, and the photosensitive site was searched by recording responses in swimming behavior and in membrane potential. |
2. | Local stimulation to the anterior half of the cell caused an avoiding response. |
3. | Stimulation to the cells deciliated by ethanol treatment elicited a depolarization of the membrane potential. |
4. | Local stimulation to the anteroventral portion elicited a depolarization, but stimulation to the dorsal side induced no change in the membrane potential. |
5. | The action spectrum of depolarization elicited by local stimulation to the anteroventral surface showed two main peaks at 420 nm and 560 nm, corresponding to those of light stimulation of the whole cell. |
6. | It is concluded that a photosensitive site exists on the anteroventral surface ofParamecium, in particular within the oral groove of the cell. This local photosensitivity is discussed with respect to the mating reaction. |

1. | The effect of intracellularly injected cAMP on the amplitude of excitatory postsynaptic potentials was studied using identified neurons of the snailHelix pomatia. |
2. | In 25% of the experiments, postsynaptic cAMP elevation caused a pronounced augmentation of the excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP) amplitude, lasting up to 15–30 min. |
3. | The results suggest that a cAMP increase in the postsynaptic neuron may be involved in the enhancement of synaptic efficiency. |

1. | The action of melatonin was investigated in a colonial anthozoan, the sea pansy Renilla koellikeri, in which rhythmic contractions underlying peristalsis were previously shown to be potentiated by serotonin (5-HT) and cAMP analogues (Anctil 1989). |
2. | Melatonin (2–1000 mol·1-1) consistently and reversibly depressed the amplitude of rhythmic contractions, the latter all but vanishing at the most effective concentration (10 mol·1-1). In addition, the frequency of rhythmic contractions incurred a 25% reduction in some preparations exposed to melatonin (10–20 mol·1-1). Vaseline gap experiments showed that this response was restricted to tissues directly exposed to melatonin. |
3. | The potentiating effect of 5-HT on rhythmic contractions was eliminated in a reversible manner in the presence of melatonin. The latter also caused a 50% reduction of the amplitude of contractions elicited by field electrical stimulation. |
4. | Dibutyryl or 8-bromo cGMP, as well as the phosphodiesterase inhibitor IBMX, mimicked the melatonin-induced response and the effects of melatonin on the 5-HT potentiation or contractile response to electrical stimulation. cGMP levels, measured by radio-immunoassay (RIA) in rachidial tissues, increased 3-fold above basal levels in the presence of melatonin (0.01 mmol·1-1) and 2-fold with IBMX (1 mmol·1-1). In contrast, RIA measurements of cAMP levels showed the latter to fall to 50 and 40% of control values in the presence of melatonin (0.01 mmol·1-1) and IBMX (0.1 mmol·1-1), respectively. These results and other findings suggest that a cGMP-mediated melatonergic mechanism participates in an antagonistic fashion with 5-HT in the modulation of rhythmic contractions and peristalsis of the sea pansy. |

1. | We used laser vibrometry and free field sound stimulation to study the frequency responses of the eardrum and the lateral body wall of awake male Eleutherodactylus coqui. |
2. | The eardrum snowed one of two distinct frequency responses depending on whether the glottis was open (GO response) or closed (GC response) during the measurement. |
3. | The lateral body wall vibrated with a maximum amplitude close to that of the eardrum and in the same frequency range. |
4. | Covering the frog's body wall with vaseline reduced the vibration amplitude of the GC response by up to 15 dB. |
5. | When a closed sound delivery system was used to stimulate a local area of the body wall the eardrum also showed one of two types of responses. |
6. | These results suggest that sound is transmitted via the lung cavity to the internal surface of the eardrum. This lung input has a significant influence on the vibrations of the eardrum even when the glottis is closed. |
7. | The vibration amplitude of the eardrum changed with the angle of sound incidence. The directionality was most pronounced in a narrow frequency range between the two main frequencies of the conspecific advertisement call. |

1. | Muscles of the posterior cardiac plate (pcp) and pyloric regions in the stomach of Squilla are innervated by motoneurons located in the stomatogastric ganglion (STG). The pattern of innervation of various muscles in these regions was determined using electrophysiological methods. |
2. | The dilator muscles are singly or doubly innervated by the pyloric dilator neurons (PDs). The constrictor muscles are singly or doubly innervated by the pcp neuron (PCP) or the pyloric neurons (PYs). These muscles are sequentially activated by pcp-pyloric motor outputs produced by the PCP, PY, and PD. All muscles can generate an all-or-nothing spike. |
3. | The constrictor muscles generate spikes followed by depolarizing afterpotentials which lead to a sustained depolarization with repetitive spikes. The PYs can entrain rhythmic spike discharges of these muscles. |
4. | The spike of muscles remains unchanged by bath application of tetrodotoxin (10-7 M) to suppress neuronal impulse activities, but it is blocked by Mn2+ (10 mM). |
5. | The constrictor muscle isolated from the STG displays an endogenous property of spontaneous membrane oscillation that produces a train of spikes. Brief depolarizing or hyperpolarizing stimuli can trigger or terminate an oscillatory potential, respectively, and reset the subsequent rhythm. |
6. | The possible functions of myogenicity under the control of discharges of motoneurons in the pyloric constrictor neuromuscular system are discussed. |

1. | Transepithelial potential differences (PDte) and acidification rates of the bath chamber were measured on isolated perfused posterior gills of the fiddler crabUca tangeri adapted to dilute seawater. |
2. | The PDte decreased to almost zero when Na+ was substituted by choline or when ouabain was added to the perfusion saline in high concentrations (10 mmol·l–1). Thus, the rheogenic NaCl-transport across the gill epithelium seems to be totally Na+-dependent. |
3. | When Cl– was replaced by gluconate, a bath positive PDte occurred which was insensitive to ouabain. This PDte could also be observed when, in addition to Cl– removal, Na+ was replaced by TMA+. |
4. | Bath acidification under normal conditions could be abolished by ouabain, indicating that there is H+ excretion via electrically silent Na+/H+ exchange. In contrast, bath acidification under Cl–-free conditions is only partially blocked by ouabain. |
5. | It is concluded that under Cl–-free conditions a rheogenic H+-pump in the apical membrane is responsible for the ouabain-insensitive bath acidification as well as for the PDte. |

1. | Non-visual sensory systems are likely to be important in antarctic fish since these fish inhabit an area where low light levels occur for long periods. This study was undertaken to examine the suitability of the lateral line system for prey detection. |
2. | Recordings were made from afferent fibres of the anterior lateral line in the antarctic fishPagothenia borchgrevinki. |
3. | A vibrating probe was used to stimulate the lateral line at a range of frequencies between 10 and 100 Hz. |
4. | Most units responded best at a stimulus frequency of 40 Hz. Below the best frequency the response typically declined steeply and at higher frequencies it was usually better sustained. |
5. | Crustacea identified as major components of the diet ofPagothenia borchgrevinki were individually attached to a force transducer to determine the vibrations produced by swimming movements. |
6. | The Fourier amplitude spectra of swimming crustaceans exhibited prominent low frequency peaks at 3–6 Hz and higher frequency peaks in the 30–40 Hz range. |
7. | It is concluded that the overlap in the frequency response characteristics of the anterior lateral line and the frequencies produced by crustacean prey clearly establishes the suitability of the lateral line for prey detection. |
8. | In several instances recordings were made from fish primary afferent neurons responding to a swimming amphipod. These recordings confirm that crustacean swimming is indeed a potent natural stimulus of the lateral line system. |

1. | A retention time of 150 days in the storage reservoir leads to a quite considerable reduction in copper and lead concentration (around 75% for lead and 50% for copper), while a levelling-off in the marked variations in the water flowing in is also found. |
2. | Copper concentrations in the storage reservoir and the model reservoirs show a less constant picture with time then lead concentrations. This may well be caused by the absorption of copper by e.g. phytoplankton. |
3. | Treatment of the water with Fe++ or AVR seems to have no effect on the removal of lead or suspended matter. |
4. | Because of the small number of measurements it is difficult to quantify these results. |
5. | For statements about seasonal trends, measurements must be made over a period of at least three years; they must be made at least once a week and the sampling procedure as regards place and frequency must remain unchanged. |
6. | The available data indicate that in spite of the effect of mobilisation the removal of the two metals is such that sudden drastic rises of concentration in the unfiltered surface water entering the purification installation is not to be expected. |

1. | Normal activity in bilateral pairs of heart interneurons, from ganglia 3 or 4, in the medicinal leech (Hirudo medicinalis) is antiphasic due to their reciprocally inhibitory connections. However, Ca+-free Co+-containing salines lead to synchronous oscillations in these neurons. |
2. | Internal TEA+ allows expression of full plateaus during Co++ induced oscillations in heart interneurons; these plateaus are not blocked by Cs+. Similar plateaus are also observed with internal TEA+ alone, but under these conditions activity in heart interneurons from ganglia 3 or 4 is antiphasic. |
3. | Plateaus in heart interneurons induced by Co++ and internal TEA+ involve a conductance increase. |
4. | A voltage-dependent inward current, IP, showing little inactivation, was isolated using single-electrode voltageclamp in heart interneurons. This current is carried at least in part by Na+; the current is reduced when external Na+ is reduced and is carried by Li+ when substituted for Na+. |
5. | Calcium channel blockers such as La3+ and Co++ block neither the TEA+ induced plateaus nor IP, suggesting that Na+ is not using Ca++ channels. Moreover, IP is enhanced by Ca++-free Co++-containing salines. Thus, IP is correlated with the TEA+- and Co++-induced plateau behavior. |

In recent years anthropologists have made much progress in understanding ancient activities from skeletal remains. In this
paper, material from the Iron Age cemetery at Pontecagnano (VII-IV century BC) is used to illustrate activity-related traits
of eight basic categories:
These traits, and others, can be used not only singly but in conjunction to define (a) patterns of activity and occupational
specialization for individuals, and (b) distributions within society reflecting the basic division of labor by geneder and
class. 相似文献

The compound eyes of most diurnal butterflies have a reflecting tapetum below the retina. Light that enters the eye is guided down the rhabdom, reflected by the tapetum, and then guided back up the rhabdom. The light that is not absorbed by the rhabdom is reemitted and gives rise to an eyeshine. We have measured the fraction of the incident light that is re-emitted, and also the degree to which this light retains its original polarization. The following conclusions are drawn:

1. | Even at the wavelength where the eyeshine is most intense, only a few percent of the incident photons are re-emitted. |
2. | The tapetum acts as a plane mirror that preserves polarization. |
3. | The light that passes through the rhabdom in second-order waveguide modes is depolarized to a greater extent than the light contained in first-order modes. The depolarization is expected to decrease only slightly the polarization sensitivity of the retina. |
4. | Theoretical modelling of the waveguide properties of the rhabdom provided a way of using depolarization measurements for estimating the refractive index of the rhabdom. The measured amount of depolarization is consistent with the dispersion of phase velocities of different second-order modes propagating in a rhabdom of refractive index 1.363. |

1. | The light-dependent demolition of rhabdoms induced by a protein phosphatase inhibitor, okadaic acid (OKA) in retinas of a crab (Leptograpsus variegatus) is examined to determine whether the effects of OKA merely amplify the endocytosis of normal phototransductive membrane turnover, or are distinct from it. |
2. | OKA-induced demolition by dawn retinas maintained in vitro is partially blocked by either of two protein kinase C inhibitors, staurosporine and H-7. It is similarly blocked by a Ca2+-channel blocking agent, diltiazem. |
3. | Large night rhabdoms illuminated at 40 lux for up to 20 min are reduced by pinocytosis which is not inhibited by either staurosporine or diltiazem, each in the absence of OKA. |
4. | Pinocytosis is not blocked by a high concentration of a specific tyrosine kinase inhibitor, genistein in absence of OKA. |
5. | It is inferred that (i) phosphorylations of rhabdomeral proteins drive light-dependent, OKA-induced endocytosis; (ii) phosphorylations (including that of rhodopsin) do not drive normal, light-dependent endocytosis; (iii) tyrosine phosphorylations of a notional, minor population of rhabdomeral proteins are unlikely to determine, normal, light-dependent endocytosis of phototransductive membrane; (iv) entry of Ca2+ into R1-7 photoreceptors via either light-dependent or other channels is necessary for events provoked by OKA, but irrelevant to normal light-dependent endocytosis. |

1. | The reactions of tympanic nerve fibers ofLocusta migratoria were recorded by glass microelectrodes in the metathoracic ganglion. |
2. | The units were classified by frequency-, intensity-, and directional characteristics as well as by their response pattern. The response to speciesspecific song is compared with the response to song ofEphippiger ephippiger. |
3. | The physiological properties lead to a classification into three types of low-frequency neurons (characteristic frequency 3.5–4 kHz; 4kHz; 5.5–6 kHz) and one type of high-frequency neuron (12–20 kHz). This is similar to other species (Gray, 1960, Michelsen, 1971). |
4. | Intensity-coding is done by sharp rising intensity characteristics and by different absolute thresholds of the units. |
5. | There is a marked directional sensitivity with some differences between LF and HF units. In the low frequency range the tympanal organ seems to react as a pressure gradient receiver; for high frequencies another mechanism is discussed. |
6. | No filtering of species-specific song takes place at the level of the receptor cells. |
