## Abstract Orthopteran insects (crickets, bushcrickets, and acridid grasshoppers) are preferred preparations for the study of the central nervous mechanisms that underlie behavior. Many of their behaviors are based on central rhythmβgenerating circuits located in the ganglia of the ventral nerve c
Fifteen local spiking interneurons (LSIs) and twenty-one local nonspiking interneurons (LNIs) were identified in the terminal abdominal ganglion (TAG) of the cricket Gryllus bimaculatus on the basis of intracellular recording and staining (Figs. 1, 5, 6). Although the majority of LNIs showed sharp d
