Abstract:
The formation of patterns of functionally appropriate chemical synapses is one of the key aspects of nervous system development. I have investigated the cellular interactions that culminate in the formation of an inhibitory synapse between the R and P neurons of the leech. These neurons may be isolated and maintained in culture, where they reform synaptic connections under easily manipulable conditions. An early event in the formation of this synapse is the loss from sites of contact in the postsynaptic P cell of an excitatory response to the transmitter serotonin. The loss of this response wa

There are forty registered organophosphates in the United States and they range from pesticides and insecticides to nerve agents or neurotoxins such as sarin. Organophosphates (OP’s) have been used in chemical warfare for years and tend to lead to death due to an attack on the nervous system. Chemical assays and mass microscopy have been used to assess the concentration of OP’s in the environment, but both methods require the body to metabolize the OP first, which can be detrimental to the victim.

Abstract:
In both vertebrates and invertebrates, including leeches, microglia are rapidly activated by central nervous system (CNS) damage and migrate to the lesions. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), nitric oxide (NO) and endocannabinoids have been implicated in controlling activation and migration, but details of the mechanisms are uncertain. This dissertation tests the hypothesis that endocannabinoids coordinate and influence the microglial response to nerve cord crushing. Chapter 1 reports that application of endocannabinoids to nerve cords at concentrations as low as 100 nM for arachidonylethanolamide

Abstract:
A well documented laboratory setup, leech preparation process, and bio-potential data recording process are needed. Repeatability and quality data recordings are essential and thus dictate the requirements of the laboratory setup and processes listed above. Advances in technology have both helped and hindered this development. While very precise equipment is required to record the low voltage bio-potentials, noisy electronic equipment and wires surrounding the work area provide high levels of interference. Proper laboratory setup and data recording processes, however, limit the unwanted in
