The Neurobiology of the ascidian tadpole larva: Recent developments in an ancient chordate

Article Abstract:

The central nervous system (CNS) of the tadpole larva of the ascidian ciona intestinalis provides with a chordate nervous system in miniature. Otophysiological methods coupled with high speed video analysis of larval swimming offer the prospect to analyze at single cell level the function of a CNS built on a vertebrate plan.

The neurobiology of visual-saccadic decision making

Article Abstract:

A study is conducted for understanding the neural basis of primate decision making, the biological process that combines sensory data with stored information to select and execute behavioral responses. In addition, many of the studies within the emerging neuroeconomic framework for understanding are reviewed.
