Abstract
Motor activity responsible for the calling song of crickets is generated by a small neuronal network whose output is genetically determined. Genes controlling certain output features are located on the X chromosome. The genetic system involved is polygenic and multichromosomal. In some patterns, genetically derived information is adequate to specify the difference of a single impulse in the output of homologous neurons from different genotypes.Keywords
