Effects of a spider toxin on the glutaminergic synapse of lobster muscle. [PDF]
The Journal of Physiology, 1983 We studied the effect of neurotoxin (JSTX) separated from spider venom on the lobster neuromuscular junction. JSTX selectively suppressed excitatory post‐synaptic potentials (e.p.s.p.s) without affecting the inhibitory post‐synaptic potentials (i.p.s.p.s). The effect of JSTX was dose‐dependent.

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.ABSTRACT There is significant local and international evidence to show that young people transitioning from care have children by age 21 at far higher rates than the general youth population. Intergenerational child protection involvement is also far higher for this group.

The Chemistry and Biology of the Tetrodotoxin Natural Product Family
Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Accepted Article.Tetrodotoxin is a neurotoxic marine alkaloid, first isolated in 1909 from pufferfish and named after the biological order tetraodontiformes. Since its structural elucidation in 1964, it has attracted the interest of synthetic organic chemists due to its exceptional polarity, complex architecture, and important biological activity.
