Donald Kennedy President, Stanjord University Alnwst exactly a
dozen years elapsed between the time I set aside (I thought
temporarily!J my own interest in crustacean nervous systems and the
arrival of an invitation from Konrad Wiese to participate in this
symposium. The intervening years have plainly been productive ones
for the field; indeed, I can only hope that there is no causal
connection between its properity and my absence. Discontinuous
contact with an intellectual venture, whatever disappointments it
may present. does oifer one virtue; it provides a nwre dramatic.
alnwst stroboscopic view of progress. To the lapsed practitioner,
the rate of advance in crustacean neurobiology over the decade
seems remarkable; equally remarkable is the number of able young
researchers. many of them the scientific progeny of my colleagues
from the "sixties" and "seventies" . How to summarize the changes
they have wrought? Those of us who began working with crustacean
nervous systems thirty years 090 or so were attracted by several
features. First of alt there was a limited nwtor system with
readily identifiable neurons. It was diJft.cult to look at those
old methylene blue stains of Retzius and not want to do an
experiment immediately! Kees Wiersma ojten did, and it was he who
nwst persuasively called our attention to the advantages oifered by
neuronal parsinwny in combination with stereotyped motor output
patterning. Ted Bullock exploited these features in his elegant
early experiments on cardiac ganglia.
