Can anyone direct me to some good references that discuss the
differences between neuronal functioning in vertebrates and
invertebrates?
So that you get an idea of what I am after, here's an example of the
an issue: Learning and plasticity in invertebrates have often been
associated with changes in intrinsic properties of the neurons as well
as changes in synaptic strength. Vertebrate learning is for the most
part assumed to be due to changes in synaptic strength alone.
I am aware that this may be somewhat controversial... But that's part
of the reason why it is interesting!
Thanks in advance,
Steve
