Abstract:
Insects represent ideal model systems in which to tackle issues of sensory-motor integration. There have recently been important results in several fields encompassing the development and plasticity of reflex pathways, the mapping of mechanosensory information in thoracic neuropils, the biophysics of integration in local premotor interneurons, and the behavioral study of a resistance reflex and inter-leg coordination.
