Abstract

THEODORE HOLMES ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY BULLOCK Los Angeles Department of Zoology, University of California, Many aspects of the electrophysiological study of invertebrate nervous systems have been covered in recent reviews. Thus, the useful articles of Prosser (121) and Welsh and Schallek (149) specifically deal with invertebrates while those of Bishop (16) and Grundfest (64) include much recent work on these forms. Conduction and excitability in nerve are well treated by Curtis and Cole (46, see also Hodgkin and Rushton, 71). Wiersma (153) has dealt with muscle physiology in invertebrates. The role of acetylcholine is discussed in Nachmansohn (100) and Gerard (56). Chemical excitation of peripheral nerve is reviewed by Brink, Bronk and Larrabee (25). Recent advances in certain areas of investigation have not, however, come to general attention. The present paper undertakes to summarize the present state of knowledge in four of the important fields of application of electrophysiological methods: the comparative study of synaptic mechanisms, physiological neuronography-which has been applied especially to giant nerve fiber systems, the phenomenon of spontaneous central activity and the identification and analysis of sensory structures.
