Depolarization of this neurone by intracellular current injection causes a switch in the motor programme from forward to reverse ventilation, which persists for the duration of the current...

... are produced by the severed abdomen of sexually mature female grasshoppers. By comparing this activity to the activity underlying the natural behaviour, it was determined that the isolated abdomen produced the digging portion of the oviposition motor programme. Electrical recordings from the ovipositor nerves...

The duration of the Feeding Motor Programme (FMP) that can be recorded from an isolated CNS-lip preparation is reduced by increasing the osmolality of the saline bathing the preparation...

...W. J. Heitler ABSTRACT Intracellular and extracellular recordings have been made from neurones of the swimmeret system in the semi-isolated abdominal ganglion of the crayfish during rhythmic activity. Extracellular recordings commonly reveal a motor programme (MP1) consisting of low-amplitude...
