The statocyst comprised longitudinal and transverse nerve cords, forming what is called a "commissural brain" and a "statocyst-associated-commissure" (stc) characterized by transverse fibers.

A new study of the impact on marine life of seismic air guns, used in geological surveys of the seafloor, has found that the sensory organs and righting reflexes of rock lobster can be damaged by ...

Lobster organs and reflexes damaged by marine seismic surveys Date: July 25, 2019 Source: University of Tasmania Summary: A new study of the impact on marine life of seismic air guns, used in ...

The testing showed that the statocyst, a sensory organ on a lobster’s head which is critical in controlling their righting reflex, was affected by exposure to seismic airguns.

US scientists have found an organ called the statocyst, which plays a role in crustacean balance, is also used for the crab equivalent of hearing. Crabs have a sort of inner ear that helps them to ...

PARIS, FRANCE - Crabs have a sort of inner ear that helps them to hear nearby predators, US scientists have found. An organ called the statocyst, previously shown to play a role in crustacean balance, ...
