Figure 8From: A new kind of auxiliary heart in insects: functional morphology and neuronal control of the accessory pulsatile organs of the cricket ovipositorInfluences on the rhythmic bilateral genital chamber movements by unilateral warming and cooling. Continuous recording of the efferent output to the genital chamber tilting muscles m2 (n.7vA1 l/r). The left-right rhythm accelerates slightly due to unilateral warming of the terminal ganglion (arrow). Cooling the ganglion with a probe on the other side (arrow, chilling unilateral) abolishes the ipsilateral rhythm and slows the antagonist. Recovery to room temperature (22°C, arrow) occurs after 60 s.Back to article page
