The distribution of mechanosensory hair afferents within the locust central nervous system
Abstract:
The sensory projections from mechanosensory hairs on different body segments of the locust were filled with cobalt and their distribution within the central nervous system was described. A common feature of all projections was that in all ganglia axons were observed only in the median ventral tract and in the neuropil area known as the ventral association center. Within these restricted regions, axons from different segments or from different locations within a segment showed specific differences in the extent of their projection.
