Unclear reference to "bypassing the main neural system"[edit]

I am confused by the cryptic sentence ending the penultimate paragraph of the article: "The LG bypasses the main neural system that controls locomotion, thus shortening the reaction time." Normal "locomotion" in crayfish (and other astacids) is with their legs, not their tails. The Natantia (and in some circumstances astacids) use their swimmerettes when off substrate, but "tail flipping" is usually reserved for escape, not routine locomotion (some squat lobsters excepted). ^[1]--Dragonfly360 (talk) 03:36, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
