## Abstract An evaluation of electron micrographs of stimulated nerve fibers used to investigate the effect of action potential generation on the structureโfunction relationship between axons and its associated glial cells revealed that what was at first thought to be stimulationโinduced damage to
We examined whether impulse activity influences the density of mitochondria in the motor axons innervating the crayfish claw closer muscle. Mitochondria were compared in the phasic, tonic, and chronically stimulated phasic motor axons. Tonic axons had twice the mitochondria density (total mitochondr
## Abstract Electrical stimulation of crayfish giant axons at high frequency activates group II metabotropic and NMDA glutamate receptors on adjacent glial cells via release of Nโacetylaspartylglutamate and glutamate formed upon its hydrolysis. This produces a transient depolarization followed by a
