Inhibitory Interactions

1. Techniques are described for recording in locust thoracic ganglia from single units identifiable as the motor neurones of specific flight muscles. 2. There are at least two kinds of excitatory interactions among flight-muscle motor neurones. A spike in one motor neurone may be electrically transmitted to another with little delay but much attenuation. Stimulation of a group of motor neurones produces a second, probably chemically transmitted, potential with a latency of 5-6 msec. 3. No short-term inhibitory interactions between motor neurones were observed. 4. Activity in one motor unit of the flight system has long-term effects on the motor neurones of other units, excitatory in some cases and inhibitory in others. 5. Single impulses in sensory neurones have little effect on motor neurones; sustained sensory input to a motor neurone produces a slow depolarization and increase in impulse frequency. 6. Antidromic impulses in one group of motor neurones can entrain orthodromic impulses in another motor neurone. 7. These data are discussed with reference to the hypothesis that the pattern of locust flight--rhythmic synchronous bursts of synergist activity, strict alternation between antagonists--can be produced by motor neurone interactions alone.

The Brain

A virgin female of the noctuid moth, a kind of noctuidae that eats cucumis, etc. performs calling at a fixed time of each day, depending on the length of a day. The photoreceptors that induce this calling are located around the neurosecretory cells (NSC) in the central portion of the protocerebrum. Besides, it is considered that the female’s biological clock is located also in the cerebral lobe. In order to elucidate the calling and the function of the biological clock, it is necessary to clarify the basic structure of the brain. The observation results of 12 or 30 day-old noctuid moths showed that their brains are basically composed of an outer and an inner portion-neural lamella (about 2.5 μm) of collagen fibril and perineurium cells. Furthermore, nerve cells surround the cerebral lobes, in which NSCs, mushroom bodies, and central nerve cells, etc. are observed. The NSCs are large-sized (20 to 30 μm dia.) cells, which are located in the pons intercerebralis of the head section and at the rear of the mushroom body (two each on the right and left). Furthermore, the cells were classified into two types: one having many free ribosoms 15 to 20 nm in dia. and the other having granules 150 to 350 nm in dia. (Fig. 1).

Relatively few data on the development of the amygdaloid complex are available only at the light microscopic level (1-3). The existence of just general morphological criteria requires the performance of other investigations in particular ultrastructural in order to obtain new and more detailed information about the changes in the amygdaloid complex during development.The prenatal and postnatal development of rat amygdaloid complex beginning from the 12th embrionic day (ED) till the 33rd postnatal day (PD) has been studied. During the early stages of neurogenesis (12ED), the nerve cells were observed to be closely packed, small-sized, with oval shape. A thin ring of cytoplasm surrounded their large nuclei, their nucleoli being very active with various size and form (Fig.1). Some cells possessed more abundant cytoplasm. The perikarya were extremely rich in free ribosomes. Single sacs of the rough endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria were observed among them. The mitochondria were with light matrix and possessed few cristae. Neural processes were viewed to sprout from some nerve cells (Fig.2). Later the nuclei were still comparatively large and with various shape.
