TLDR
The responses of chemoreceptors from two specific regions of the Panulirus argus antennule subjected to a common regime of quantitative stimulus manipulation differ in the temporal profile of impulse generation.About:

Olfaction: Responses of a Decapod Crustacean Are Enhanced by Flicking
Brian C. Schmitt,Barry W. Ache +1 more
TL;DR: Periodic movements of the olfactory organs, known as "flicking," temporally enhance the response of the Olfactory receptors of the spiny lobster to changes in stimulus concentration.

Function of chemoreceptor organs in spatial orientation of the lobster, homarus americanus: differences and overlap
Dana V. Devine,Jelle Atema +1 more
TL;DR: It appears that intact lobsters orient in odor space by tropotaxis principally using aesthetasc receptor input, and lobster with unilaterally ablated lateral antennules and blocked walking leg receptors turned preferentially toward the side of the intact antennule.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure and function of cuticular sensilla of the lobster homarus americanus
TL;DR: Sensilla sensitive to mechanical but not to chemical stimuli include peg sensilla, which are small sensilla situated in articulated sockets within cuticular depressions and are distributed over the surface of the carapace, pereiopods, and maxillipeds, and mechanoreceptive sensilla include cuticular articulated peg organs (=CAP organs).

Chemotaxis in the Florida spiny lobster, Panulirus argus
Pamela B. Reeder,Barry W. Ache +1 more
TL;DR: Ablation experiments show that input from the lateral filament, specifically the aesthetase tuft of theateral filament, is necessary and sufficient to trigger searching behaviour in this organism when stimulated with a gradient of dilute shrimp extract.

Olfactory Bulb Units: Activity Correlated with Inhalation Cycles and Odor Quality
TL;DR: It is indicated that a change in the overall firing frequency of unit discharges is neither a necessary nor sufficient measure of responsiveness to odors in the rodent olfactory bulb, and that stimulus-specific temporal distributions of unit firing may be involved in olfacto-endocrine activities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Organization of the stomatogastric ganglion of the spiny lobster
TL;DR: The Stomatogastric ganglion of Panulirus interruptus contains about 30 neurons, and controls the movements of the lobster's stomach, and a group of six neurons which drive the stomach's lateral teeth are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Taste Stimuli: Quality Coding Time
TL;DR: Rats conditioned to avoid drinking 300 millimolar NaCl recognized and rejected this solution within 250 to 600 milliseconds of onset of stimulus, a period containing the phasic portion of the peripheral neural response.
Journal ArticleDOI
The antennular sense organs of panulirus argus.
TL;DR: Electro-physiological experiments indicate that three types of proprioceptors are present in the antennular rami of Panulirus argus, and some indications have been given of the range of specificity and types of response shown by these units.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative chemosensitivity to amino acids and their role in the feeding activity of bathypelagic and littoral crustaceans.
TL;DR: Feeding response exhibition in five marine crustaceans was observed in the presence of a range of concentrations of an amino acid mixture composed of equal parts DL alpha arnino-n-butyric acid, L-glutamic acid and taurine and Panulirus interruptus antennule receptors displayed a degree of specificity to mono- and dicarboxylic amino acids.
