Large amplitude units responding to intense winds or touch of the antennae were recorded extracellularly from the cervical connectives of the cockroach, Periplaneta americana. Intracellular recording and staining revealed a number of interneurons with cell bodies in one of the head ganglia and large caliber axons descending to thoracic levels. These cells respond to touch of an antenna at very short latencies. The properties of these cells suggest that in the cockroach they may be a substrate for non-GI evasive behavior, especially for responses to predators which are detected by tactile cues.
从美洲大蠊的颈部神经索中，细胞外记录到了对强风或触角触碰有反应的大幅值单位。细胞内记录和染色显示，一些中间神经元的细胞体位于头部神经节之一，其大口径轴突下行至胸部水平。这些细胞对触角触碰的反应潜伏期非常短。这些细胞的特性表明，在蟑螂中，它们可能是产生非GI逃避行为的基础，尤其是对通过触觉线索检测到的捕食者的反应。
