Field crickets are best known for the loud calling songs produced by males to attract conspecific females. This review aims to summarize the current knowledge of the neurobiological basis underlying the acoustic communication for mate finding in field crickets with emphasis on the recent research progress to understand the neuronal networks for motor pattern generation and auditory pattern recognition of the calling song in Gryllus bimaculatus. Strong scientific interest into the neural mechanisms underlying intraspecific communication has driven persistently advancing research efforts to study the male singing behaviour and female phonotaxis for mate finding in these insects. The growing neurobiological understanding also inspired many studies testing verifiable hypotheses in sensory ecology, bioacoustics and on the genetics and evolution of behaviour. Over last decades, acoustic communication in field crickets served as a very successful neuroethological model system. It has contributed significantly to the scientific process of establishing, reconsidering and refining fundamental concepts in behavioural neurosciences such as command neurons, central motor pattern generation, corollary discharge processing and pattern recognition by sensory feature detection, which are basic building blocks of our modern understanding on how nervous systems control and generate behaviour in all animals.

蟋蟀以雄性发出的响亮的鸣叫声而闻名，以吸引同种雌性。这次审查的目的总结为队友发现现场蟋蟀声通信，重点对近期研究进展，以了解运动模式的产生和在鸣唱的听觉模式识别的神经网络背后的神经生物学基础的现有知识蟋双斑. 对种内交流背后的神经机制的强烈科学兴趣推动了持续推进的研究工作，以研究这些昆虫的雄性歌唱行为和雌性发声行为以寻找配偶。日益增长的神经生物学理解也激发了许多研究来检验感官生态学、生物声学以及行为的遗传学和进化方面的可验证假设。在过去的几十年里，蟋蟀中的声学通信作为一个非常成功的神经行为学模型系统。它对建立、重新考虑和完善行为神经科学中的基本概念的科学过程做出了重大贡献，例如命令神经元、中枢运动模式生成、推论放电处理和通过感觉特征检测的模式识别，
