The modular construction of brain tissue is not solely a feature of vertebrate nervous tissue,
but is characteristic of many invertebrate nervous systems as well. Modern vertebrate and …

Half a century ago, two independent papers that described unexpected results of
experiments on locomotion in insects and crayfish appeared almost simultaneously …

Crustacean motor pattern-generating networks have played central roles in understanding
the cellular and network bases of rhythmic motor patterns for over half a century. We review …

The noncompetitive antagonists of the vertebrate N‐methyl‐d‐aspartate (NMDA) receptor
dizocilpine (MK 801) and phencyclidine (PCP), delivered in food, were found to induce a …

The crustacean swimmeret system includes a distributed set of local circuits that individually
control movements of one jointed limb. These modular local circuits occur in pairs in each …

Normal locomotion in arthropods and vertebrates is a complex behavior, and the neural
mechanisms that coordinate their limbs during locomotion at different speeds are unknown …

1. The central control of sensory inputs from a proprioceptor [chordotonal organ (CO)] in the
second joint [coxo-basipodite (CB)] of the fifth leg was studied in crayfish in vitro …

Neuronal mechanisms in nervous systems that keep intersegmental phase lags the same at
different frequencies are not well understood. We investigated biophysical mechanisms that …

This article reviews the principles that rule the organization of motor commands that have
been described over the past five decades in crayfish. The adaptation of motor behaviors …
