Abstract

Intense investigations of the auditory system of insects have been carried out in recent decades. However, fastened and dissected insects were used in almost all electrophysiological experiments. By recording the activity of nerve cells under such conditions it is impossible to be completely certain that the investigated neurons function exactly as during normal behavior of the insect. We have developed a technique for implanting metal electrodes into neck connectives for recording the neuronal activity in a freely moving bushcricket T. cantons..
