Transduction Processes of Movement and Position Sensitive Cells in a Crustacean Limb Proprioceptor

Nature volume 229, pages 206–208 (1971)Cite this article

Abstract

DURING the past few years a great deal of work has been done on the physiology of crustacean limb proprioceptors. The study reported here involved ultrastructural differences between functionally distinct cells in the propodite–dactylopodite (PD) chordotonal organ of Cancer pagurus, and was based on serial transverse sections. Final details will be published elsewhere.
