## Abstract The role of the biogenic amine octopamine in modulating cholinergic synaptic transmission between the locust forewing stretch receptor neuron (fSR) and the first basalar motoneuron (BA1) was investigated. The amines 5‐hydroxytryptamine (5‐HT, serotonin) and dopamine were also studied. B
