## Abstract Several different paradigms of extensionβevoking command fiber (CF) stimulation were used in order to characterize functional properties of the networks controlling abdominal posture in the crayfish. The types of connections between CFs and abdominal postural driving networks were first

Uropod movements of the crayfish, Procambarus clarkii (Girard) are controlled by nonspiking local interneurones as well as by spiking local interneurones and ascending interneurones in the terminal abdominal ganglion. The organization of synaptic connections among these local circuit neurones was ex
The pathway of the median giant fiber in the crayfish cephalic ganglion(brain) was reconstructed from serial sections. The median giant fiber in the para-esophageal nerve runs anteriorly and enters the brain. After turning medially, i t gives off a branch which further divides into two branches. The
## Abstract The command elements that initiate and coordinate the abdominal movements in crayfish show little similarity between the various abdominal segments. Our criteria for similarity among interneurons were based on both cell morphology and electrophysiology. By contrast, previously published
The present study investigated the site of action of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and pharmacologically characterized the receptors involved in regulating blood glucose levels in the crayfish, Procambarus clarkii. Injection of 5-HT into intact animals increased glucose levels in a dose-dependent manne
## Studies of identified neurons have made important contributions to our understanding of cellular neurophysiology. We have developed a technique for modifying gene expression in identified motoneurons of the crayfish Procambarus clarkii in the isolated nervous system as well as in the intact anim
