Allatostatin immunoreactivity in the honeybee brain.
Information transmission and processing in the brain is achieved through a small family of chemical neurotransmitters and neuromodulators and a very large family of neuropeptides. In order to understand neural networks in the brain it will be necessary, therefore, to understand the connectivity, morphology, and distribution of peptidergic neurons, and to elucidate their function in the brain. I...
متن کاملAllatostatin peptides in the crab stomatogastric nervous system: inhibition of the pyloric motor pattern and distribution of allatostatin-like immunoreactivity.
The effects of four Diploptera punctata allatostatin peptides on the stomatogastric nervous system of the crab Cancer borealis were studied. All of the peptides had similar actions on the activity of neurons involved in rhythmic movements of the pyloric region of the stomach, decreasing the frequency of the pyloric rhythm in a dose-dependent manner. Diploptera allatostatin 3 (D-AST-3) was sligh...
متن کاملVibration-Processing Interneurons in the Honeybee Brain
The afferents of the Johnston's organ (JO) in the honeybee brain send their axons to three distinct areas, the dorsal lobe, the dorsal subesophageal ganglion (DL-dSEG), and the posterior protocerebral lobe (PPL), suggesting that vibratory signals detected by the JO are processed differentially in these primary sensory centers. The morphological and physiological characteristics of interneurons ...
متن کاملNMR Imaging of the honeybee brain
NMR microscopy provides non-invasively distinct soft-tissue contrast in small biological samples. We were able to visualize the three-dimensional structure of the honeybee brain in its natural shape in the intact head capsule. Thus, in addition to acquiring detailed information about the shapes and volumes of the different brain compartments, we were able to show their relative orientations tow...
متن کاملHoneybee: The flying pharmacist
Honeybee, a small -although powerful- creature moves from one place to another to make an elixir, which cures different diseases. To make one kilogram of honey the small creature has to carry 150000 pieces of pollen and suck the sap of ten million flowers. Both honey and the honeybee poison have been used in treating diseases for thousands of years. The product made by such tiny creatures has b...
