One of the objectives of this project is to investigate the ultrastructure of the crustacean stretch receptor organ in relation to its function. We plan to investigate stretch-induced structural changes in the dendrities of the sensory neuron, where the generator potential occurs, by using ultraquick freezing and freeze-substitution methods. In addition, the membrane fine structure of the inhibitory synapses on the receptor neuron will be studied by using the freeze-fracture method. The other objective of this project is to investigate the ultrastructural and electrophysiological properties of newly-formed neuromuscular junctions in tissue culture. Also we will study the development of extrajunctional acetylcholine receptors in cultured muscle cells by using microelectrophysiological and freeze-fracture methods.

该项目的目标之一是研究超微结构 甲壳动物拉伸感受器器官与其功能的关系。 我们计划 研究拉伸引起的感觉树突的结构变化 神经元，发电机电位发生的地方，通过使用超快速冷冻和 冷冻替代法。 此外，膜的精细结构 受体神经元上的抑制性突触将通过使用 冷冻断裂法。 该项目的另一个目标是调查 新形成的超微结构和电生理学特性 组织培养中的神经肌肉接头。 我们也会研究发展 通过使用培养的肌肉细胞中的结外乙酰胆碱受体 微电生理学和冷冻骨折方法。
