Auditory DUM neurons in a bush ‐cricket: A filter bank for carrier frequency
This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. Local prothoracic neurons responding to sound have been studied in a bush‐cricket. The neurons belong to the Dorsal Unpaired Median‐Neurons (DUM) and come in at least 15 copies. These share main branching patterns, but differ in details of branches and projections inside and outside of the auditory neuropile. When pure tones are presented, DUM‐neurons differ in the preferred frequency in a way that the whole set of DUM‐cells provides a filter bank for carrier frequency between at least 4 and 46 kHz. This is of importance, since bush‐crickets produce an...

Representation of the stomatopod's retinal midband in the optic lobes: putative neural substrates for integrating chromatic, achromatic and polarization information
This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. The stomatopod (mantis shrimp), Lysiosquillina maculata in the act of spearing a damselfish. The raptorial strike is 40 times faster than that of its land‐based insect namesake, the preying mantis. The visual system mediating the stomatopod's predatory behaviors originated over 400 million years ago. This paper examines the neuronal relay system housed within the eyestalk that allows the coordination of these raptorial movements. Neuropils beneath the eye coordinate information from 20 or more parallel retinal channels including 12 color sensitivities, six pol...
