Changes in neuronal circuits during insect metamorphosis.
During metamorphosis insects undergo dramatic changes in both form and behaviour. Cell birth and death, as well as neurone respecification all contribute to the overall reorganization of the nervous system. Within the visual and chemosensory processing areas of the insect brain large numbers of newly-generated adult neurones are incorporated into the larval nervous system. In the abdominal gang...
متن کاملControl of oxidative phosphorylation during insect metamorphosis.
The midgut of the tobacco hornworm (Manduca sexta) is a highly aerobic tissue that is destroyed and replaced by a pupal epithelium at metamorphosis. To determine how oxidative phosphorylation is altered during the programmed death of the larval cells, top-down control analysis was performed on mitochondria isolated from the midguts of larvae before and after the commitment to pupation. Oxygen c...
متن کاملEndocrine regulation of the form and function of axonal arbors during insect metamorphosis.
By discrete manipulation of the endocrine cues that control insect metamorphosis, it has been possible to examine the mechanisms governing the growth of neural processes during development. During the transition from larva to pupa in the hawkmoth, Manduca sexta, identified sensory neurons reorganize their central projections to evoke a new behavior--the gintrap reflex. Topical application of a ...
متن کاملProgrammed cell death during amphibian metamorphosis.
The death of different types of cells occurs in regressing or remodeling organs to transform from a tadpole to a frog in both temporally and spatially regulated manners during amphibian metamorphosis. This morphological change is drastic and visible with the naked eye. This review summarizes our current understanding of the basic mechanism of the cell death during the metamorphosis. It focuses ...
متن کاملSome Aspects of Chemical Changes during Insect Metamorphosis
THE complex chemical changes associated with metamorphosis have long been of interest to biochemists, but a detailed study of one type is not yet available, in spite of much attention having been paid to the silkworm. The subject of this study is the sheep blow-fly Lucilia sericata Meigan. This insect is very suitable for an investigation of this kind since the prepupal stage, morphologically s...
