1.
Anatomy and physiology of a set of low-frequency vibratory interneurons in a nonhearing ensiferan (Troglophilus neglectus, Rhaphidophoridae).

The author described in the article published in the first line scientific journal new types of identified neurons which process low frequency vibratory signals. These results represent the basis for behavioural investigations conducted in the program of the running project. As first she proved that low frequency vibratory signals are behaviourally more important than supposed until now.

Vibratory interneurons in the non-hearing cave cricket indicate evolutionary origin of sound processing elements in Ensifera.

The authours represent in the article published in a well recognized journal the hypothesis on developmental evolution of Ensifera auditory neuronal networks from neurons which process substrate-borne sound. This is an important contribution to understanding of evolution of the invertebrate mechanosensory system by showing that small network changes follow different sensory input to them.
