Ganglion of Lumbricus terrestris

Description:

Summary[edit] Description: English: This ganglion came from Lumbricus terrestris, or a leech. It was used during the BIPN 145 neurobiology lab at the University of California, San Diego. Intracellular recording were captured from individual neurons in the ganglion using glass pipette and action potentials were recorded. The neuron was also stimulated to induce action potentials as well. The final thing done to the ganglion was to stain it with Alexa Fluor 488 green dye, this is why the ganglion appears green. Unfortunately the ganglion was mishandled during the imaging which is why you can see the anchors, the two metal rods stuck through the ganglion. Date: 8 February 2019. Source: Own work.
