Fifty years ago CAG Wiersma established that the giant axons of the crayfish nerve cord
drive tail-flip escape responses. The circuitry that includes these giant neurons has now …

Substratum vibrations elicit a fast startle response in unrestrained quiescent desert locusts
(Schistocerca gregaria). The response is graded with stimulus intensity and consists of a …

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

Intersegmental interneurones are crucial for the appropriate coordination of the activity of
local circuits located in different body segments. We have analysed the synaptic inputs to …
