The general theme of this research is to understand how sensory information is encoded and processed in the central nervous system in order to generate coordinated motor outputs. Dr. Christopher Comer will continue to study central integration in a model system where the traffic of neural signals in the CNS can be easily monitored, assigned to identified interneurons, and related to the performance of a discrete and easily recorded behavioral act. Cockroaches evade a predator's strike by turning away and then running. This orientating response may be used as a model system to determine how signals are processed in the CNS to control the occurrence and form of directional movement. Specific, identifiable, giant interneurons in cockroaches which are wind-sensitive cells, will be thoroughly examined electrophysiologically and anatomically for their role in escape behavior. These studies will give us a more complete understanding of how the nervous system encodes and communicates for escape and startle responses.

这项研究的主题是了解如何 感觉信息在中枢神经系统中编码和处理 神经系统以产生协调的运动输出。 克里斯托弗·科默博士将继续研究中央整合 在一个模型系统中，中枢神经系统中的神经信号流量 可以很容易地监测，分配给识别的中间神经元， 与离散的、容易记录的 行为行为 蟑螂为了躲避捕食者的攻击 然后逃跑。 这种定向响应可以用作 一个模型系统，用于确定信号在CNS中的处理方式 以控制定向运动的发生和形式。 在蟑螂体内有特异性的，可识别的，巨大的中间神经元， 是对风敏感的细胞，将被彻底检查 电生理学和解剖学上的作用， 行为 这些研究将给我们一个更完整的 了解神经系统如何编码和交流 逃避和惊吓的反应。
