Abstract
The abdominal nerve cord preparation isolated from the crayfish is far superior to the frog neuromuscular and crayfish neuromuscular preparations for evaluation of neurotoxicity of various pesticides and other environmental agents. Neurotoxicity is manifested as stimulation and/or paralysis of spontaneous discharges of the nerve cords. The techniques involved in this experiment are rather simple, and require only reasonable amounts of conventional electrophysiological equipment. Thus such toxicity evaluation can be performed with a modest amount of expense. More sophisticated and efficient data acquisition systems could be developed using basically the same techniques.
