Abstract excerpt
Seminal studies using squid as a model led to breakthroughs in neurobiology. The squid giant axon and synapse, for example, laid the foundation for our current understanding of the action potential [1], ionic gradients across cells [2], voltage-dependent ion channels [3], molecular motors [4-7], and synaptic transmission [8-11]. Despite their anatomical advantages, the use of squid as a model receded over the...
