Evidence presented in this paper indicates that a robust circadian rhythm in the frequency of neural activity can be recorded from the central nervous system of intact cockroaches, Leucophaea maderae. This rhythmicity was abolished by optic lobe removal. Spontaneous neural activity was then used as

## Abstract Removal of the pineal organ from the lake chub, __Couesius plumbeus__, had significant effects on circadian locomotor activity. In fish kept in continuous darkness the absolute length of the circadian period was significantly altered; the variability of the period was increased; and ult
g-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the cockroach central nervous system (CNS). Electrophysiological assays performed at cercal-afferent giant-interneuron (GI) synapses demonstrated that a biphasic (transient and stable phases) increase in membrane conductance, in r
## Abstract The eyes of __Bulla__ express a circadian rhythm in optic nerve impulse frequency. __Bulla__ also exhibit a circadian rhythm in locomotor behavior. In order to determine what role the ocular oscillators play in controlling rhythmic behavior, the eyes were removed and locomotor activity
