内容説明

This text presents a sequel on the topics of photoreception and phototransduction covered by the first volume in the series. It adds the analysis of two other modalities of sensory reception and transduction - chemical and mechanical, which are phylogenetically much older. This characterization results not in a succession of three different and uncorrelated moments, but in a fruitful confrontation between experts which usually act separately and in an integration between various particular knowledges. This approach highlights the two basic strategies common to different sensory modalities and specializations, and the ecological adaptions of each of them.

目次

  • Introductory lecture: the role of the chemical senses and specific chemical in controlling different facets of the behaviour of aquatic animals. Chemoreceptive systems and chemotransductive processes: olfaction - from receptor genes to information processing
  • transduction and adaption in olfactory sensory neurons. Mechanoreceptive systems and mechanotransductive processes: the supra-molecular basis of mechanoelectric transduction
  • mechanical signal conditioning in the cochlea. Photoreceptive systems and phototransductive processes: visual excitation mechanisms in rhabdomeric photoreceptors - multiple light-dependent channels, ion permeation and gating
  • processing of visual information in the fruitfly drosophila. (Part contents).
