The antennal feathered hairs in the crayfish: a non-innervated stimulus transmitting system

Mechanical stimulation of feathered hairs on the crayfish Astacus leptodactylus , antenna elicits spike activity in nerve bundles running in the flagellum. Electron microscopical studies showed, however, that these hairs are not innervated. Instead these hairs can be coupled mechanically with nearby...

Zusammenfassung:Mechanical stimulation of feathered hairs on the crayfish Astacus leptodactylus , antenna elicits spike activity in nerve bundles running in the flagellum. Electron microscopical studies showed, however, that these hairs are not innervated. Instead these hairs can be coupled mechanically with nearby innervated hairs of a different type, which perform the sensory transduction.
