Chordotonal organs
only human. Very recently, a senior research associate in my lab shared his experience of accidentally spilling a hazardous chemical on the floor and the small change he will make to contain such spills more safely in the future. I am grateful that he used his experience to help us all work smarter and safer. These two stories have been about lab mistakes, the last one will be about remembering...
متن کاملThe structure and function of auditory chordotonal organs in insects.
Insects are capable of detecting a broad range of acoustic signals transmitted through air, water, or solids. Auditory sensory organs are morphologically diverse with respect to their body location, accessory structures, and number of sensilla, but remarkably uniform in that most are innervated by chordotonal organs. Chordotonal organs are structurally complex Type I mechanoreceptors that are d...
متن کاملJanus Green B as a rapid, vital stain for peripheral nerves and chordotonal organs in insects.
Effective staining of peripheral nerves in live insects is achieved with the vital stain Janus Green B. A working solution of 0.02% Janus Green B in saline is briefly applied to the exposed peripheral nervous system. The stain is then decanted and the dissection flooded with fresh saline, resulting in whole nerves being stained dark blue in contrast to surrounding tissues. This simple and relia...
متن کاملRole of the proneural gene, atonal, in formation of Drosophila chordotonal organs and photoreceptors.
The Drosophila gene atonal encodes a basic helix-loop-helix protein similar to those encoded by the proneural genes of the achaete-scute complex (AS-C). The AS-C are required in the Drosophila PNS for the selection of neural precursors of external sense organs. We have isolated mutants of atonal, which reveal that this gene encodes the proneural gene for chordotonal organs and photoreceptors. I...
متن کاملThe role of homeotic genes in determining the segmental pattern of chordotonal organs in Drosophila.
The homeotic genes are instrumental in establishing segment-specific characteristics. In Drosophila embryos there is ample evidence that the homeotic genes are involved in establishing the differences in the pattern of sense organs between segments. The chordotonal organs are compound sense organs made up of several stretch receptive sensilla. A set of serially homologous chordotonal organs, lc...
