odor-tracking performance in the American cockroach Periplaneta americana
Determining the location of a particular stimulus is often crucial to an animal’s survival. One way to determine the local distribution of an odor is to make simultaneous comparisons acrossmultiple sensors. If the sensors detect differences in the distribution of an odor in space, the animal can then steer toward the source. American cockroaches, Periplaneta americana, have 4 cm long antennae a...
متن کاملEvidence of poly(ADP-ribosylation) in the cockroach Periplaneta americana.
Poly(ADP-ribosylation) is a post-translational modification of nuclear proteins typical of most eukaryotic cells. This process participates in DNA replication and repair and is mainly regulated by two enzymes, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase, which is responsible for the synthesis of polymers of ADP-ribose, and poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase, which performs polymer degradation. The aim of this wor...
متن کاملSpatial learning in the restrained American cockroach Periplaneta americana.
Spatial learning abilities were tested in restrained cockroaches by observing antennal projection responses towards the positions of a learned visual cue perceived monocularly by one eye in the context of a second stimulus provided to the contralateral eye. Memory of the position of the conditioning stimulus relative to the contralateral reference stimulus was tested by altering the relative po...
متن کاملStudies of cardio-regulation in the cockroach, Periplaneta americana.
The circulation of haemolymph in insects is maintained by a system of muscular pumps and fibromuscular septa. The most important muscular pump is the dorsal vessel which collects blood from the abdominal cavity and discharges it into the head. In cockroaches the dorsal vessel is a straight tube comprising the 'heart' in the abdominal and thoracic segments and narrowing to form the aorta in the ...
متن کاملAncestral Notch-mediated segmentation revealed in the cockroach Periplaneta americana.
Through division into segments, animal bodies can reach higher degrees of complexity and functionality during development and evolution. The segmentation mechanisms of insects and vertebrates have been seen as fundamentally different at the anatomical and molecular levels, and consequently, independently evolved. However, this conclusion was mostly based on observations of derived insects such ...
