PI: Hanlon IBN: 9722805 Major advances in fundamental neurophysiology have come from studying the nervous system of the squid. The giant axon, giant synapse, and the eyes are outstanding unusual features of squids that provide excellent model systems for neuroscience. The Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) in Woods Hole, Massachusetts has been a leading international center where physiologists, anatomists, biochemists and biophysicists have obtained squid for their research on nerve impulses, synaptic transmission, axonal transport and organelle motility, membrane structure, cell death and repair, and ion channel distribution and function. This project continues partial funding for improved collection of live squid in good condition, using a variety of capture techniques. Results of this support will have a broad impact because obtaining squid in excellent condition will enhance the potential of the new MBL Marine Resources Center facilities to provide longer and better maintenance, and so to provide healthier squid of consistently higher quality at a lower cost to the researchers in neuroscience.

PI：Hanlon IBN：9722805基础神经生理学的主要进展来自于对鱿鱼神经系统的研究。巨大的轴突、巨大的突触和眼睛是鱿鱼的突出的不同寻常的特征，为神经科学提供了极好的模型系统。位于马萨诸塞州伍兹霍尔的海洋生物实验室(MBL)是一个领先的国际中心，生理学家、解剖学家、生化学家和生物物理学家在这里获得了SQUID，用于他们对神经冲动、突触传递、轴突运输和细胞器运动、膜结构、细胞死亡和修复以及离子通道分布和功能的研究。该项目继续提供部分资金，利用各种捕获技术，改善对状况良好的活鱿鱼的采集。这项支持的结果将产生广泛的影响，因为获得状况良好的鱿鱼将增强新的MBL海洋资源中心设施的潜力，提供更长时间和更好的维护，从而以更低的成本为神经科学研究人员提供更健康、质量持续更高的鱿鱼。
