...Abdesslam Chrachri ABSTRACT Ionic currents from freshly isolated and identified swimmeret motor neurones were characterized using a whole-cell patch-clamp technique. Two outward currents could be distinguished. A transient outward current was elicited by delivering depolarizing voltage steps from...

.... albifrons , however, there is evidence for motor function in only three of the five identified oviductal neurones that appear to participate in the generation of the oviductal contractions. The remaining two identified neurones of D. albifrons have a branching pattern similar to that of motor neurones...

... for turning behaviour to occur. The right inferior cervical nerve innervates the right dorsal longitudinal muscle and contains axons of neurones that are active just prior to, and during, shell movements in freely behaving animals. These axons are probably the axons of motor neurones. The motor neurones...

...Keith T. Sillar; Robert C. Elson ABSTRACT Intracellular recordings have been made from walking-leg motor neurones of the crayfish, Pacifastacus leniusculus , in isolated preparations of the thoracic ganglia. Some motor neurones display slow depolarizations that can drive bursts of spikes...

...Gilles Laurent; Daniel Richard ABSTRACT The structure of the proximal segments of the cricket (Gryllus bimaculatus) foreleg, together with the associated musculature and its innervation are described. The morphology of 50 motor neurones involved in the control of this musculature has been revealed...

..., inserting on the third axillary sclerite of the wing hinge. Each muscle consists of two distinct parts, a and b ( Fig. 1 ). Each pleuroaxillary muscle is innervated by two motor neurones which give rise to a small and a large muscle potential in electromyogram recordings ( Fig. 6E ). The cell body of each...
