Support of a Charter Vessel for the Collection of Live Marine Organisms for Neurobiological Research

PI：Hanlon IBN：9722805基础神经生理学的主要进展来自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突出的不寻常特征，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）一直是一个领先的国际中心，生理学家、解剖学家、生物化学家和生物学家在这里获得鱿鱼，用于研究神经冲动、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。 该项目继续提供部分资金，用于使用各种捕捉技术改进对状况良好的活鱿鱼的收集。 这种支持的结果将产生广泛的影响，因为获得状态良好的鱿鱼将提高新MBL海洋资源中心设施的潜力，以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的鱿鱼。

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.
