On exploration of geometrically constrained space by medicinal leeches Hirudo verbana [PDF]
Biosystems, 2015 Leeches are fascinating creatures: they have simple modular nervous circuitry m yet exhibit a rich spectrum of behavioural modes. Leeches could be ideal blue-prints for designing flexible soft robots which are modular, multi-functional, fault-tolerant, easy to control, capable for navigating using optical, mechanical and chemical sensorial inputs, have

An optically stabilized fast-switching light emitting diode as a light source for functional neuroimaging. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Neuroscience research increasingly relies on optical methods for evoking neuronal activity as well as for measuring it, making bright and stable light sources critical building blocks of modern experimental setups. This paper presents a method to control

Host Matters: Medicinal Leech Digestive-Tract Symbionts and their Pathogenic Potential
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Digestive-tract microbiota exert tremendous influence over host health. Host-symbiont model systems are studied to investigate how symbioses are initiated and maintained, as well as to identify host processes affected by resident microbiota.

Recommendations for the Use of Leeches in Reconstructive Plastic Surgery
Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 A written informed consent should be obtained from the patient before hirudotherapy is initiated. The patients should be treated each day of leech therapy with anti‐Aeromonas antibiotics. Leeches should be applied on the darker spots of the reattached body parts or flaps.
