The spider Cupiennius salei is a well-established model for investigating information processing in arthropod sensory systems. Immunohistochemistry has shown that several neurotransmitters exist in the C. salei nervous system, including GABA, glutamate, histamine, octopamine and FMRFamide, while electrophysiology has found functional roles for some of these transmitters.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Molly A Roush"

  • - Molly A Roush's research primarily focuses on the neuroanatomy and neurotransmitter distributions in the nervous system of the spider Cupiennius salei, a key model organism for studying arthropod sensory systems.
  • - Her 2017 study utilized immunohistochemistry methods to identify the presence and co-localization of cholinergic neurons alongside FMRFamide in both central and peripheral neurons of C. salei.
  • - The findings contribute valuable insights into the complex roles of various neurotransmitters in arthropod neural processing, indicating potential functional interactions within their sensory systems.
