Neuroscience. 2014 Mar 19;268C:149-158. doi: 10.1016/j.neuroscience.2014.03.016.

Highlights
  • FM1-43 dye was utilized as a screening tool for locomotory neurons in the earthworm.
  • Labeled synapses were associated with sensory feedback from the body wall for octopamine-induced locomotion.
  • Paired neurons (OPPs) were identified.
  • OPP firing was synchronized with locomotor rhythm.
  • OPPs projected to the peripheral tracts.
