Using extracellular and intracellular stimulation, recording and dye-filling, we identified and
studied the superficial extensor motor neurons of the crayfish, Cherax destructor. Functional …

The stretch receptor cells (SRs) of the abdominal muscle receptor organs (MROs) of crayfish
send large axons directly to the last abdominal ganglion. In Procambarus clarkii some …

While the first observations of the crustacean nervous system date back to the late 17th
century, crustaceans became a popular subject for neurobiologists from the late 19th century …

The crustacean muscle receptor organ (MRO) has provided a particularly accessible
preparation for the study of sensory coding, which has been widely used in introductory …

Recordings were made from the nerve innervating the stretch receptors of the abdominal
muscle receptor organs and slow extensor muscles of tethered crayfish, Cherax destructor …

Most studies of the muscle receptor organs (MROs) of decapod crustaceans have focused
on their role in local reflex loops. This may not be their only function. We examine their …

The ventral nerve cord of decapod crustaceans has contributed to our understanding of
sensory-motor systems in a number of ways. Valuable insights have come from the study of …

Anomura, of all the decapod infraorders, has had a particularly unstable taxonomic history,
with groups such as the dromiacean crabs and the thalassinidean shrimps being variously …
