The effect of strychnine was studied on the slow, fast, and inhibitory systems in the abdominal extensor muscles of the crayfish. Strychnine nitrate (0.1 mg/ml and up) caused rapid block of the fast responses of the deep abdominal extensor muscles. The nerve and muscle remained directly excitable, a

## Abstract Like nearly all biologic structures, the peripheral nervous system is remarkably temperature sensitive. Clinical neurophysiologists are most aware of the untoward effects of cooling on nerve conduction studies, including reduced conduction velocity, prolonged distal latency, and increas
Studies on the effects of temperature on the activities of Embden-Meyerhof (EM) glycolysi~ and the hexose monophosphate shunt (HMP) in fishes have dealt mainly with exotic and/or acclimated fishes. This study reports the effects of short-term reductions in temperature on EM and HMP activity in two c
