Influences 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.
