Electrical stimulation of sensory neurons that innervate receptors on the tailfan of crayfish
evokes a reflex response of motor neurons that produce movements of the blades of the …

Previous neuropharmacological studies have described the presence of a nitric oxide-cGMP
signalling pathway in the crayfish abdominal nervous system. In this study we have …

Nonspiking interneurons are important components of the premotor circuitry in the thoracic
ganglia of insects. Their action on postsynaptic neurons appears to be predominantly …

In crayfish, movement of the tailfan causes stimulation of exteroceptive sensory hairs located
on its surface. Movement is monitored by a proprioceptor, the protopodite‐endopodite …

In the first step toward identifying the neurotransmitter released from spiking interneurons of
both local and intersegmental groups in the crayfish terminal abdominal ganglion, the …

The modulatory effect of serotonin on local circuit neurones forming the uropod motor control
system of the crayfish Procambarus clarkii Girard was analysed electrophysiologically. Bath …

The uropod common inhibitory motor neurone was identified both physiologically and
morphologically in the terminal (sixth abdominal) ganglion of the crayfish Procambarus …

Using an antiserum directed against glutamate, we have analyzed the distribution of
glutamate‐like immunoreactive neurons in the terminal abdominal ganglion of the crayfish …

When crayfish have attained dominant status after agonistic bouts, their avoidance reaction
to mechanical stimulation of the tailfan changes from a dart to a turn response. Ascending …

Nonspiking local interneurons in the terminal abdominal ganglion of the crayfish
Procambarus clarkii receive inhibitory inputs from mainly glutamatergic spiking local …
