All the acoustic units in the ventral-nerve cord respond to both sound and vibration. Most of them show improved coding abilities when stimulated simultaneously with conspecific songs and vibration signals. This is also true for habituating neurons. Stridulating tettigoniids produce both airborne sound and substrate borne vibration and their simultaneous processing in the central nervous system may therefore lead to a better localization of a nearly sound source in the biotope.
腹神经索中的所有听觉单元都对声音和振动做出反应。当与同种鸣声和振动信号同时受到刺激时，它们中的大多数表现出更强的编码能力。对于习惯化神经元也是如此。发声的螽斯既产生空气传播的声音，也产生基质传播的振动，因此它们在中枢神经系统中的同时处理可能会导致在生物群落中更好地定位近声源。
