Figure 10From: Internal receptors in insect appendages project directly into a special brain neuropileSummary diagrams of the results of the present paper. A All appendages except for the labial palps and the mandibles contain neurons that project into the superficial ventral inferior lateral protocerebrum (SVIP). Within the legs usually one neuron is located in the proximal tibia, one or two in tarsal segments. The exact location of the neurons within the maxillary palp is not known (question mark). Within the antenna each of the two major branches of the antennal nerve contains neurons in distal regions. Their exact position is not known (question mark). cx, coxa; fe, femur; fl, flagellum; pc, pedicellus; S= suboesophageal ganglion, sc, scapus; st, stipes; T1-T3, thoracic ganglia; ta, tarsus; ti, tibia; tr, trochanter B Schematic view of the structure of the neurons. Both, the soma and the terminal dendritic mass (tdm) are surrounded by a glial sheath (gl) and the neurilemma (nl). n, nuclei.Back to article page
