Crayfish possess two pairs of giant axons that travel the length of the central nervous
system. The giant cells are command neurons, which produce, with a single impulse, a …

The abdominal nervous system of the crayfish contains six serially homologous ganglia,
each containing approximately 650 neurones. No two ganglia are identical, and the ganglia …

Crayfish are equipped with two prominent neural circuits that control rapid, stereotyped
escape behaviors. Central to these circuits are bilateral pairs of giant neurons that …

The arthropods are equipped with a wide variety of receptors, each of which is produced by
modified epidermal cells. Groups of these cells cooperate in the construction of a …

Escape swimming behavior in Tritonia diomedea consists of two major components: an
initial reflexive withdrawal followed by a series of alternating ventral and dorsal flexions. The …

A phasic stimulus directed to the rear of a crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) creates
mechanosensory input to the lateral giant (LG) interneuron, a command neuron for escape …

The anatomical and physiological characteristics of filiform hairs, receptor elements on the
cerci of the cricket Acheta domesticus, were investigated, with special attention to possible …

The directional properties of cereal afferents and the interneurons they innervate in the
abdominal giant fiber system of the cricket (Acheta domesticus) were studied using laminar …

Cobalt backfills were used to demonstrate a population of approximately 50 paired
interneurons in the 6th abdominal ganglion of the crayfish, Procambarus clarkii. Intracellular …
