当昆虫在曲折、不可预测的地形中移动时，它们的神经系统使它们能够表现出惊人的适应性，研究人员必须利用他们掌握的每一种技术来解开潜在的机制。来自大脑中心的下行命令处理来自头部传感器的大量信息，与局部运动控制一起工作，改变它们的操作，以处理障碍或向重要目标移动。通过用高速视频详细分析运动，记录胸神经节中已识别的神经元，并检查不同大脑区域的活动，我们开始了解这些非凡的动物如何在环境中导航。再加上新的和令人兴奋的神经遗传学工具，在不久的将来承诺一个令人兴奋的时间研究昆虫运动的神经基础。
As insects move through tortuous, unpredictable terrain, their neural system allows them to exhibit striking adaptability and researchers must use every technique at their disposal to unravel the underlying mechanisms. Descending commands from brain centers that process tremendous amounts of information from head sensors work together with local motor control altering their operation to deal with barriers or move toward important targets. By analyzing movements in detail with high-speed video, recording from identified neurons in thoracic ganglia and examining activity in different brain regions, we are beginning to understand how these remarkable animals navigate their environment. Coupled with new and exciting neurogenetic tools, the near future promises an exciting time for studying the neural basis of insect movement.
