ABSTRACT
Cercal ablation caused a significant loss in acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity of the cercal nerves and terminal ganglion within 12 hr while a similar reduction in enzyme activity of connectives was noticed at least one day after cercectomy. The decrease in AChE activity of the nervous tissues showed a recovery toward control levels from 20 days of unilateral cercectomy whereas the bilateral cercectomy produced a continuous and irreversible decline in enzyme activity. These localized changes in AChE activity of the abdominal nervous system of the cockroach were attributed to be regulated by the cercal sensory innervation.
