Fig. 5. Amine-induced flight motor activity. Top traces: initial response to bath
application; lower traces: expanded excerpts of electromyograms, as in
Fig. 1. (A) Octopamine (500
mmol l–1), (B) dopamine (200 mmol l–1) and
(C) tyramine (10 mmol l–1) all induce fictive flight, but not
(D) serotonin (10 mmol l–1) or (E) the precursor amino acid
tyrosine (10 mmol l–1). (F) Atropine (10 mmol
l–1) blocks flight initiation by octopamine. Scale bar, 10 s
upper traces, 100 ms lower traces.
