An insect-like mushroom body in a crustacean brain
Mushroom bodies are the iconic learning and memory centers of insects. No previously described crustacean possesses a mushroom body as defined by strict morphological criteria although crustacean centers called hemiellipsoid bodies, which serve functions in sensory integration, have been viewed as evolutionarily convergent with mushroom bodies. Here, using key identifiers to characterize neural...
متن کاملA Model of Non-elemental Associative Learning in the Mushroom Body Neuropil of the Insect Brain
We developed a computational model of the mushroom body (MB), a prominent region of multimodal integration in the insect brain, and tested the model’s performance for non-elemental associative learning in visual pattern avoidance tasks. We employ a realistic spiking neuron model and spike time dependent plasticity, and learning performance is investigated in closed-loop conditions. We show that...
متن کاملLocusts provide clues to insect mushroom body function.
The insect mushroom bodies are sensory integration and learning and memory centers that display morphological plasticity on both individual and evolutionary timescales; mushroom bodies and their intrinsic neurons restructure in response to individual behavioral experience [Withers et al., 1993; Seid and Wehner, 2009], while across the insects particular mushroom body morphologies are linked to ...
متن کاملUsing an Insect Mushroom Body Circuit to Encode Route Memory in Complex Natural Environments
Ants, like many other animals, use visual memory to follow extended routes through complex environments, but it is unknown how their small brains implement this capability. The mushroom body neuropils have been identified as a crucial memory circuit in the insect brain, but their function has mostly been explored for simple olfactory association tasks. We show that a spiking neural model of thi...
متن کاملCdk5 regulates the size of an axon initial segment-like compartment in mushroom body neurons of the Drosophila central brain.
The axon initial segment (AIS) is the specialized compartment of vertebrate axons where action potentials are initiated. Despite longtime attention to the unique functions of this compartment, the mechanisms that regulate AIS formation and maintenance are not known. Here, we identify a novel compartment in Drosophila mushroom body neurons that mirrors the molecular hallmarks of the vertebrate A...
