Neuropeptides associated with the regulation of feeding in insects
N Audsley, RJ Weaver - General and comparative endocrinology, 2009 - Elsevier
The stomatogastric nervous system plays a pivotal role in feeding behaviour. Central to this
system is the frontal ganglion, which is responsible for foregut motor activity, and hence the …
