Temperature Dependence of the Neural Control of the Moth Flight System

JAMES L. HANEGAN 1 and JAMES EDWARD HEATH 1

1 Department of Physiology and Biophysics, University of Illinois Urbana, Illinois 61801

1. The transition from the warm-up motor pattern to the flight motor pattern in the saturnid moth H. cecropia, is described.

2. The transition from warm-up to flight was found to be dependent on the temperature of the thoracic ganglia.

3. A model to account for the two different motor output patterns and the transition of the warm-up pattern to the flight pattern is proposed.
