Abstract

The results of the present study demonstrate that series of gustatory stimulations can induce shortening of the cardiac cycle in the blowfly, Protophormia terraenovae. This effect is due to a decrease in duration of one of the two phases which compose the cardiac cycle, that is the Fast-phase. No changes in action potential frequency of either phase were evoked by stimulation. The data are discussed in terms of sensory-induced changes in hemolymph circulation, which may function to optimize the insect's performance with respect to a state of alertness.
