Development of the nervous system in the brittle star Amphipholis kochii

Development Genes and Evolution, 2007
There are several studies of neural development in various echinoderms, but few on ophiuroids, which develop indirectly via the production of pluteus larvae, as do echinoids. To determine the extent of similarity of neuroanatomy and neural development in the ophiuroids with other echinoderm larvae, we investigated the development of the nervous system ...

Luminescence control in the brittlestar Amphipholis squamata: Effect of cholinergic drugs☆

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Endocrinology, 1996
Potassium chloride and cholinergic drugs were rested on isolated arms of Amphipholis squamata; potassium chloride triggered a monophasic light emission; acetylcholine (10(-3) M) induced a luminescent response characterized by multiple flashes. ACh luminescence was increased in the presence of the cholinesterase inhibitor, eserine. Nicotinic antagonists,

Cytological changes during bioluminescence production in dissociated photocytes from the ophiuroid Amphipholis squamata (Echinodermata)

Cell and Tissue Research, 1999
Bioluminescence in the ophiuroid Amphipholis squamata is produced by photocytes located within the spinal ganglia of arm spines. Ganglionic cells were dissociated (pronase digestion) and photocytes separated from other cell types by using a continuous density Percoll gradient.

Juxtaligamental cells in the arm of the brittlestar Amphipholis kochii Lütken, 1872 (Echinodermata: Ophiuroidea)

Russian Journal of Marine Biology, 2007
We found that ligaments connecting the skeletal elements in the arm of the brittlestar Amphipholis kochii, consisted of mutable collagenous tissue (MCT), whose basichistological character is that of numerous processes of juxtaligamental cells penetrating the extracellular matrix. These cells are located in the hyponeural neuroepithelium associated with

Evidence of seasonal variation in bioluminescence of Amphipholis squamata (Ophiuroidea, Echinodermata): effects of environmental factors.

Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 2000
The bioluminescence of Amphipholis squamata was assessed from freshly collected individuals for 16 successive months, and from individuals maintained in the laboratory under various experimental conditions of salinity, temperature and photoperiodic regime.
