Article
To evaluate low-intensity exercise training induced changes in the expression of dihydropyridine (DHP) and ryanodine (Ry) receptors both mRNA and protein levels were determined by quantitative RT-PCR and immun...
Article
Several factors have an influence on the improvement of muscle activity and motor co-ordination of mammals during post-natal development. One of them is voltage sensitive L-type calcium channel function. In st...
Article
Sexual communication between male and female fireflies involves the visual detection of species-specific bioluminescent signals. Firefly species vary spectrally in both their emitted light and in the sensitiv...

Article
The maintenance of photoreceptor cell membranes in the blowfly was investigated in relation to the diurnal cycle, age, and therpa (receptor potential absent) phototransduction mutation. The effect of disturbed me...
Article
We have discovered a previously unreported visual mutant of the blowfly,Calliphora erythrocephala. It shows a...
Article
Intracellular responses from blowfly photoreceptor cells were recorded at various temperatures in order to study the behaviour of the transduction system, with particular reference to spectral sensitivity. wit...

Chapter
Most of our knowledge of invertebrate visual systems has come from studies on arthropods and molluscs. Relatively little is known about the function of visual structures in other invertebrates. Thus many of th...

Random (white noise) fluctuations of both point and wide field light sources were presented to eyes of the fl...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Many experiments, both training and optomotoric, can demonstrate how many insects, especially bees, are able to utilize the information of polarized light. Many concrete facts about this can be found in the bo...
Article
Intracellular potential recording in combination with a histological technique of cell identification and localization of the recording site was used to get some results about information processing properties...
Article
If the living eye of Calliphora erythrocephala is illuminated “antidromically” (from behind) and viewed through a microscope of medium aperture, the rhabdomeres of each ommatidium within a large area can be seen ...
