Rhythmic movements are produced by central pattern-generating networks whose output is
shaped by sensory and neuromodulatory inputs to allow the animal to adapt its movements …

Hormones and neurohormones act on the nervous system to produce important changes in
behavior. Amine actions in the lobster nervous system and their possible relations to …

What does the swimming leech have to do with the running human? The ability to move
actively in space is essential to members of the animal kingdom, and the evolution of the …

The notion of the command cell has been highly influential in invertebrate neurobiology, and
related notions have been increasingly used in research on the vertebrate nervous system …

Serotonin and octopamine, injected into the circulation of freely moving lobsters and
crayfish, produce opposite behavioral effects. Octopamine injection produces sustained …

Invertebrate escape reflexes have long been favoured preparations for investigating
neuronal substrates of behaviour. The large size of many of their component neurones make …

Reviews the hypothesis that there is a neural pattern generator within the CNS that serves to
produce the basic motor program. Evidence is presented supporting the theory that …

Injection of the monoamines octopamine and serotonin into the hemolymph of lobsters
causes them to assume opposing static postures: octopamine causes a tonic extension of all …

In this communication we report that four substances, thought to function as neurohormones
in Crustacea, all produce long-term changes in the physiological properties of lobster …

This article is a historical perspective on how the study of the neuromechanics of insects and
other arthropods has inspired the construction, and especially the control, of hexapod …
