چکیده
Griff ER, Kane TC. A housefly sensory motor integration laboratory. Adv Physiol Educ 34: 106–110, 2010; doi:10.1152/ advan.00068.2009.—Insects have many interesting behaviors that can be observed in an introductory biology laboratory setting. In the present article, we describe several reflexes using the housefly Musca domestica that can be used to introduce students to sensory and motor responses and encourage them to think about the underlying neural circuits and integration of sensory information that mediate the behaviors.
