Pharmacological analysis of tonic activity in motoneurons during stick insect walking.

8 Jun 2009 Stick insect middle leg (mesothoracic) motoneurons receive tonic excitatory input during front leg stepping on a treadmill. We studied the pharmacology of this excitatory input to the motoneurons during single-legged treadmill walking (in situ). ... Read more...

Transcriptional control of behavior: engrailed knock-out changes cockroach escape trajectories.

Jun 2009 The cerci of the cockroach are covered with identified sensory hairs that detect air movements. The sensory neurons that innervate these hairs synapse with giant interneurons in the terminal ganglion that in turn synapse with interneurons and leg ... Read more...

Electrophysiological studies of the effects of chronic administration of caffeine on the formation of a conditioned defensive reflex in the common snail.

31 Mar 2009 Chronic administration of caffeine to common snails increased the rate of formation of a conditioned defensive reflex. When daily caffeine injections were given immediately after the training procedure, the conditioned defensive reflex was acquired ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Ganglia, Invertebrate'

Definition: Clusters of neuronal cell bodies in invertebrates. Invertebrate ganglia may also contain neuronal processes and non-neuronal supporting cells. Many invertebrate ganglia are favorable subjects for research because they have small numbers of functional neuronal types which can be identified from one animal to another.
