  • Title: [Certain functional connections of neurons control the walking of the cockroach Periplaneta americana].
    Author: Fedin AN.
    Journal: Zh Evol Biokhim Fiziol; 1980; 16(5):454-60. PubMed ID: 6252735.
    Abstract:
    On isolated abdominal nervous chain of the cockroach studies have been made of the responses of motoneurones of the thoracic ganglion to electrical stimulation of afferent axons of the leg nerve under normal conditions and during application of an anticholinesterase drug, GD-7. Depending on the type of stimulated axons, monosynaptic response, as well as polysynaptic phasic and tonic responses of motoneurones were recorded. A scheme of activation of motoneurones is suggested which evokes slow contractions of muscles in cockroach extremities.
