Abstract
In response to ultrasonic stimuli, tethered flying crickets perform evasive steering movements that are directed away from the sound source (negative phonotaxis). In this study we have investigated the responsiveness to ultrasound of neurons that descend from the cricket brain, and whether flight activity facilitates the responsiveness of these neurons.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
