GABA and responses to GABA in the stomatogastric ganglion of the crab Cancer borealis. J.

Jonah crabs Cancer borealis Stimpson were obtained from the Marine Biological Laboratory (Woods Hole, MA) and from Ocean Resources, Inc.

Most stomatogastric muscles in Cancer borealis are innervated via one of the two lateral ventricular nerves (lvns) that branch from the dorsal ventricular nerve (dvn).

In our investigation we characterized two sources of GABA in the Cancer borealis STNS.

In addition to their action on the heart, F1 and F2 also activate the pyloric and gastric rhythms in Cancer borealis (Weimann et al., 1993), and F1 has powerful effects on the phasic extensor muscle of the lobster (Pasztor and Golas, 1993).

Distribution and partial characterization of FMRFamide-like peptides in the stomatogastric nervous systems of the rock crab Cancer borealis, and the spiny lobster Panulirus interruptus.
