Anatomy and physiology of a set of low-frequency vibratory interneurons in a nonhearing ensiferan (Troglophilus neglectus, rhaphidophoridae).

18 Oct 2009 Vibratory interneurons were investigated in a primitive nonhearing ensiferan (orthopteran) species (Troglophilus neglectus, Rhaphidophoridae), using intracellular recording and staining technique. The study included 26 morphologically and/or ... Read more...

Regulation of motor patterns by the central spike-initiation zone of a sensory neuron.

Aug 2009 Sensory feedback from muscles and peripheral sensors acts to initiate, tune or reshape motor activity according to the state of the body. Yet, sensory neurons often show low levels of activity even in the absence of sensory input. Here we examine ... Read more...

Coordination of rhythmic motor activity by gradients of synaptic strength in a neural circuit that couples modular neural oscillators.

20 Jul 2009 Synchronization of distributed neural circuits is required for many behavioral tasks, but the mechanisms that coordinate these circuits are largely unknown. The modular local circuits that control crayfish swimmerets are distributed in four segments ... 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.
