PHYSIOLOGICAL AND ANATOMICAL ASSESSMENT OF SYNAPSES AT THE CRAYFISH NEUROMUSCULAR JUNCTION

The crayfish, Procambarus clarkii, has a multitude of ideal sites in which synaptic transmission may be studied. Its opener muscle, being innervated by a single excitatory neuron is a good model for studying the structure/function of neuromuscular junctions since the preparation is identifiable from...
