Squid have been contributing to our knowledge of biology for over a century. Below are a collection of some of the articles and letters that have appeared in MBL publications. Some may contain information that has since been revised and updated but they still provide much value in the language and content that is presented.

Basic Neurobiology A brief introduction to the squid giant axon and why it is of interest to scientists. This brief covers some of the basic terminology involved and outlines some of the different roles the giant axon has played in modern biology.

	Sixty Years on a Single Cell What makes a nerve cell different from other cells in the body? How can we use nerves to understand the function of our kidneys? After sixty years of research, Loligo continues to provide science with an invaluable tool for understanding the mysteries of the nervous system.

Moving Traffic Inside the Cell Internal cell transport helps healthy cells heal. Breakdowns in these mechanism contribute to diseases like Lou Gehrig's disease and muscle atrophy after injuries. MBL researcher's are using the giant axon of Loligo to learn more about how materials are transported within the cell.

	Calcium and Nerve Impulses This article appeared in MBL Science in the Winter of 1988. Biologists have been studying the role of calcium in the transmission of electrical impulses in nerves. The giant axon of Loligo has been an important contributor in this work.

Trucking Down the Axon A chain of discovery closes in on the prime mover of cellular freight.
