| Popis: | While there is behavioral and anatomical evidence that coleoid cephalopods use their arms to "taste" substances in the environment, the neurophysiology of chemosensation has been largely unexamined. The range and sensitivity of detectable chemosensory stimuli, and the processing of chemosensory information, are unknown. To begin to address these issues, we developed a technique for recording neurophysiological responses from isolated arms, allowing us to test responses to biologically relevant stimuli. We tested arms from both a pelagic species ( |
