... of the ipsilateral adjacent legs. The possibility that indirect influences were mediated by coupling to the substratum can be excluded. Neuronal connections may therefore exist between the funnel canal organs (FCO) of a single leg and the motor output of the adjacent legs. The discussion deals with whether...

... of the funnel canal organ (FCO) which are bimodal sensillae located in the cuticle of the dactylopodite of crustacean walking legs. In the standing animal, brief electrical stimulation of the dactyl nerve had an influence on the proximal leg muscles of the stimulated leg. The promotor and levator muscles were...
