Neurons in the cerebropleural ganglia (CPG), photoreceptors in the eye, optic ganglion cells, and statocyst hair cells of the nudibranch mollusk Hermissenda crassicornis responded in specific ways, as recorded intracellularly, to stimulation of the chemosensory pathway originating at the tentacular chemoreceptors as well as to stimulation of the visual pathway originating at the photoreceptors. Synaptic inhibition of photoreceptors occurs via the chemosensory pathway. The possible significance of such intersensory interaction is discussed with reference to preliminary investigation of the animal's gustatory behavior and possible neural mechanisms of behavioral choice.
在粗壮海兔（Hermissenda crassicornis）这种裸鳃亚目软体动物中，脑胸膜神经节（CPG）中的神经元、眼中的光感受器、视神经节细胞以及平衡囊毛细胞，通过细胞内记录显示，对源自触手化学感受器的化学感觉通路的刺激以及源自光感受器的视觉通路的刺激，会以特定方式做出反应。光感受器的突触抑制是通过化学感觉通路发生的。结合对该动物味觉行为的初步研究以及行为选择可能的神经机制，讨论了这种感觉间相互作用的潜在意义。
