  2. Supraesophageal ganglion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supraesophageal_ganglion

    The supraesophageal ganglion (also "supraoesophageal ganglion", "arthropod brain" or "microbrain" [1]) is the first part of the arthropod, especially insect, central nervous system. It receives and processes information from the first, second, and third metameres .

  3. Ventral nerve cord - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventral_nerve_cord

    The ventral nerve cord coordinates neural signaling from the brain to the body and vice versa, integrating sensory input and locomotor output. [1] Because arthropods have an open circulatory system , decapitated insects can still walk, groom, and mate — illustrating that the circuitry of the ventral nerve cord is sufficient to perform complex ...

  4. Suboesophageal ganglion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suboesophageal_ganglion

    As part of the ventral nerve cord, it is connected (via pairs of connections) to the brain (or supraoesophageal ganglion) and to the first thoracic ganglion (or protothoracic ganglion). Its nerves innervate the sensory organs and muscles of the mouthparts and the salivary glands. Neurons in the suboesophageal ganglion control movement of the ...

  5. Mushroom bodies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mushroom_bodies

    Mushroom bodies visible in a Drosophila brain as two stalks. From Jenett et al., 2006 [1] The mushroom bodies or corpora pedunculata are a pair of structures in the brain of arthropods, including insects and crustaceans, [2] and some annelids (notably the ragworm Platynereis dumerilii). [3] They are known to play a role in olfactory learning ...

  6. Arthropod - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthropod

    Arthropod eyes Head of a wasp with three ocelli (center), and compound eyes at the left and right. Most arthropods have sophisticated visual systems that include one or more usually both of compound eyes and pigment-cup ocelli ("little eyes"). In most cases, ocelli are only capable of detecting the direction from which light is coming, using ...

  7. Circumesophageal nerve ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circumesophageal_nerve_ring

    A diagram of a hypothetical ancestral mollusc with its nerve ring shown on the left side of the image. A circumesophageal or circumpharyngeal nerve ring is an arrangement of nerve ganglia around the esophagus/ pharynx of an animal.

  8. Cephalization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cephalization

    A lobster is heavily cephalized, with eyes, antennae, multiple mouthparts, and the brain (inside the armoured exoskeleton), all concentrated at the animal's head end. Cephalization is an evolutionary trend in animals that, over many generations, the special sense organs and nerve ganglia become concentrated towards the front of the body where ...

  9. Hindbrain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindbrain

    The hindbrain is homologous to a part of the arthropod brain known as the sub-oesophageal ganglion, in terms of the genes that it expresses and its position in between the brain and the nerve cord. [2]
