| Description | Citation typed |
| Citation | G.A. Horridge is distinguished for his researches in invertebrate neurophysiology. His more important observations include electrical recording from the nerve net, discovery of the two-net system, and synaptic fine structure in jellyfish; coordination between coral polyps; neurociliary synapses, vibration of ctenophores; continuous axon pathways between the CNS and periphery in a polychaete; conditioning in headless insects; and perception of the sun's movement, visual stabilization of eye position and optokinetic memory in crabs. Penetrating investigations of the anatomical basis for electrically-recorded behaviour are characteristic of Horridge's work. He has written (with T.H. Bullock) an authoritative book on the nervous system of invertebrates, and some sixty original papers. |
