Abstract
Centripetal migration of distal pigments of the crayfish compound eye, is induced by light, by a protocerebral circadian pacemaker and among many other influences by asphyxia. The adaptive migration of those pi gments, in this case, is accompanied by a clear neural hyperexcitabili ty which can be suppressed by experimental deafferentation of the eyes talks.
