Using the typical mouth opening response (MOR) as the indexof chemore-ception, several amino acid constituents of naturalfood for Aplysia were effective in eliciting MOR in concentrationsas low is 106 107 M (glutamic acid) and 105106 M (aspartic acid). It was suggested that these substancesmay serve as food attractants for this animal. Combined resultsof behavioral and electrophysiological experiments indicatedthat the most sensitive food receptors of Aplysia are predominantlylocated in the anterior tentacular groove area of the oral veil.These receptors appeared to strongly project to the caudal darkcell clusters of the cerebral ganglion. Extracellular recordingof single afferent units following oral veil stimulation withvarious chemicals showed that the chemoreceptors in the anteriortentacular groove area were 100 to 1000 times more sensitiveto food substances than other stimuli tested. It was suggestedthat these receptors are relatively "specific" to food attractants.There was a correlation between behavioral and electrophysiologicalthreshold data for the individual compounds. The electrophysiologicalthresholds however were 515 times higher than the behavioralthresholds. 相似文献

An experiment was carried out to investigate the role of temperaturein the previously reported reinforcing effect of an increasein sea water level in Aplysia. In the present experiment, itwas found that the reinforcing effect of water level changeon rod-pressing behavior in Aplysia depends on a decrease intemperature associated with water level change. In order studymodification of rod pressing behavior produced by contingentincrease in water level and decrease in temperature, the rateand latency of rod-press responses in experimental animals wherecompared with those of yoked control animals exposed to non-contingentwater level and temperature change. Higher response rates andshorter response latencies were obtained from experimental overyoked control animals but only the shorter latencies of experimentalanimals were attributed to a behavioral change resulting fromcontingent water level and temperature reinforcement. 相似文献
