Organization and functional roles of the central complex in the insect brain
K Pfeiffer, U Homberg - Annual review of entomology, 2014 - annualreviews.org
The central complex is a group of modular neuropils across the midline of the insect brain.
Hallmarks of its anatomical organization are discrete layers, an organization into arrays of …

An anatomically constrained model for path integration in the bee brain
Path integration is a widespread navigational strategy in which directional changes and
distance covered are continuously integrated on an outward journey, enabling a straight-line …

Distribution of metabotropic receptors of serotonin, dopamine, GABA, glutamate, and short neuropeptide F in the central complex of Drosophila
The central complex is a prominent set of midline neuropils in the insect brain, known to be a
higher locomotor control center that integrates visual inputs and modulates motor outputs. It …

[HTML][HTML] Insect-like organization of the stomatopod central complex: functional and phylogenetic implications
One approach to investigating functional attributes of the central complex is to relate its
various elaborations to pancrustacean phylogeny, to taxon-specific behavioral repertoires …

Comparison of navigation-related brain regions in migratory versus non-migratory noctuid moths
Brain structure and function are tightly correlated across all animals. While these relations
are ultimately manifestations of differently wired neurons, many changes in neural circuit …
