- In vivo effects of temperature on the heart and pyloric rhythms in the crab Cancer borealis
Summary: Temperature elevation increases the frequency of the heart and pyloric rhythms of the crab Cancer borealis, but the heart rhythm has a higher critical temperature than the pyloric rhythm.
- AMGSEFLamide, a member of a broadly conserved peptide family, modulates multiple neural networks in Homarus americanus
Summary: A recently identified arthropod neuropeptide family is highly conserved within the crustaceans; one family member (AMGSEFLamide), which is highly conserved within the decapods, potently modulates three motor-pattern-generating circuits.
- Forces generated during stretch in the heart of the lobster Homarus americanus are anisotropic and are altered by neuromodulators
Summary: In lobster hearts, SGRNFLRFamide and GYSNRNYLRFamide had anisotropic, inotropic effects on the biaxial and uniaxial length–tension curves measured along the longitudinal and transverse axes of beating hearts in control and stimulated preparations.
