Abstract
To analyze neural pathways underlying the control of locomotion in the snail Melampus bidentatus, we lesioned connectives and commissures involved in locomotor control. The results suggest the presence of an independent oscillator in each pedal ganglion which is connected primarily via the pedal commissure. The bilaterally paired cerebropedal and cerebropleural connectives carry redundant information concerned with initiation of locomotion. In the 2-4 weeks after lesions were made, the snails usually regained locomotor coordination.
