...Peter Bräunig; Matthias Eder ABSTRACT A subgroup of the large efferent octopaminergic dorsal unpaired median (DUM) neurones of the third thoracic ganglion, the DUM3,4,5 neurones, directly innervates the tendons of certain proprioceptors of the locust hindleg, the so-called strand receptors...

.... Proprioceptors in the arthropod limb monitoring position and movement include muscle receptor organs and the chordotonal organs (see Mill, 1976 , for reviews). In insects, an additional class of joint receptor has been described: the strand receptors ( Bräunig and Hustert, 1980 ; Bräunig et al . 1981 ; Bräunig...

...Peter Bräunig ABSTRACT The so-called flexor strand of the femoral chordotonal organ of the locust jumping leg was found to be innervated by a single sensory neurone with its cell body in the metathoracic ganglion. The strand is therefore a new mechanoreceptor of the strand receptor class...
