Outline of Final Research Achievements

The neural mechanisms of spatial recognition in cockroaches and crickets were examined with special reference to tactile sense from active antennae and idiothetic information. The antennal motor system of the cockroach was activated by application of a muscarinic agonist (pilocarpine) to the isolated CNS specimen. The analysis on spike responses of antennal motor nerves to antennal tactile stimuli revealed that there were substantial differences in the response patterns between the resting and activated states. Application of pilocarpine to the isolated CNS specimen also activated the leg motor system. In addition, the results of lesion experiments suggested that ascending signals from the abdominal ganglia to the thoracic ganglia is critical for pharmacological activation of the leg motor system.
