Rapid Peripheral Disintegration of Planaria in the Presence of Barium
Molano, A.
Show abstract
Bioelectric signalling has been implicated in planaria regeneration and anatomical homeostasis. Previous reports demonstrated that barium chloride (1 mM), a potassium channel blocker, produced slow disintegration of the head (in 72 hours) in a clonal strain of Dugesia japonica. To investigate whether the effects of barium were similar in all planaria species, I tested its effects in wild Girardia sp. collected from a stream. The results were significantly different from those seen in Dugesia japonica: At 1 mM, these worms underwent complete peripheral disintegration within thirty minutes.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
