Sensing of Substrate Vibrations in the Adult Cicada Okanagana rimosa (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) [PDF]
, 2018 Detection of substrate vibrations is an evolutionarily old sensory modality and is important for predator detection as well as for intraspecific communication. In insects, substrate vibrations are detected mainly by scolopidial (chordotonal) sense organs

Co-existence of functionally different vesicular neurotransmitter transporters
Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2016 The vesicular transmitter transporters VGLUT, VGAT, VMAT2 and VAChT, define phenotype and physiological properties of neuronal subtypes. VGLUTs concentrate the excitatory amino acid glutamate, VGAT the inhibitory amino acid GABA, VMAT2 monoamines, and ...

Proof of concept of a workflow methodology for the creation of basic canine head anatomy veterinary education tool using augmented reality [PDF]
, 2018 Neuroanatomy can be challenging to both teach and learn within the undergraduate veterinary medicine and surgery curriculum. Traditional techniques have been used for many years, but there has now been a progression to move towards alternative digital ...

A perspective on cortical layering and layer-spanning neuronal elements [PDF]
, 2018 This review article addresses the function of the layers of the cerebral cortex. We develop the perspective that cortical layering needs to be understood in terms of its functional anatomy, i.e., the terminations of synaptic inputs on distinct cellular ...

The complex tibial organ of the New Zealand ground weta: sensory adaptations for vibrational signal detection [PDF]
, 2017 In orthopteran insects, a complex tibial organ has evolved to detect substrate vibrations and/or airborne sound. Species of New Zealand weta (Anostostomatidae) with tympanal ears on the foreleg tibia use this organ to communicate by sound, while in ...
