Physiological Competition between Host and Implanted Ganglia in an Insect (Periplaneta americana)

Abstract

BODENSTEIN¹ found evidence that ganglia from the central nervous system implanted into coxae which had been denervated were, at least to a small degree, able to mediate local reflexes. This observation suggests possible ways of studying the competition for motor and sensory functions of a limb by host and donor ganglia.
