Summary Some of the directional characteristics of air-current-sensitive giant interneurons (GIs) of a cricket were investigated by using an exactly defined unidirectional air-current stimulus. In each GI, the velocity thresholds for the stimulating air-current in two different directions were measured, using various time-courses of the velocity change (frequency). Each GI showed identical velocity threshold curves, depending on the stimulus direction.
