Synopsis

This definitive textbook and reference guide to the arthropod brain is arranged logically in three sections. Section I, on evolution, includes a discussion on the presence of a fourth component, tetrocerebrum, in the insect brain in addition to the three commonly recognized parts, and the evolutionary trends in the central and mushroom bodies in major arthropod groups. A section on structure and function includes detailed ultrastructural studies of the brain as well as studies of the mechanoreceptory centers, peripheral sensory coding and sensilla function, and antennal information processing. Also examined are biochemical topics such as bioamines and mucosubstances, their respective roles in brain function, and various techniques of brain research.
