Crabs are highly visual animals that exhibit elaborated visual guidedbehaviours. They use visual information for visuomotor control andnavigation, as well as for intra- and inter-specific interactions (Backwell etal. 2000, Christy 1988a,b, Land and Layne 1995a,b, Woodbury 1986).However, the neurons and neuronal circuits supporting most crab´sBehaviours are still unknown. In the present chapter, we summarize thecurrent knowledge on this subject based on the most comprehensivestudies done so far in any crustacean, i.e., those performed to unveil theneural circui
