Biogenic amines play diverse roles in the development and modulation of invertebrate neurons and ultimately also, in the regulation of animal behaviour. Here we examine the contribution that analyses of antennal lobe neurons in vitro have made towards our understanding of the mechanisms through which dopamine and serotonin operate in primary olfactory centres of the brain of the moth, Manduca sexta and the honey bee, Apis mellifera. This chapter reviews evidence suggesting that these biogenic amines function as regulators of neuronal development and as mediators of cellular and behavioural plasticity, in part at least, through the modulation of K(+) conductances in the cells. Insect neurons in vitro provide an excellent model for exploring basic principles of amine function and their impact on neuronal excitability.
CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic
(which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments.
It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions.
The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager
like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
