Résumé

Chordotonal organs are mechanosensory structures of insects and crustaceans whose functions include sound detection. Their morphology varies widely but they always contain bipolar sensory neurons, ending in modified cilia, surrounded by a cagelike structure called the scolopale. The evidence suggests that the cilium and scolopale are involved in transducing and amplifying the mechanical signal, and possibly in adjusting sensitivity to match the prevailing signal level.
