Abstract excerpt
Mutant first instar cockroaches (Periplaneta americana) with supernumerary filiform hair sensilla on their cerci were used to study the effects of cell body position on axonal morphology and synaptic connections. The wild-type cercus has two hairs, one lateral (L) and the other medial (M), each w...
