The typical insect brain or insect CNS consists of 105 to 106 neurons.[1]
Various degrees of fusion of ganglia.
- Supraesophageal ganglion:
- Protocerebrum The first pair of ganglia are largely associated with vision; they innervate the compound eyes and ocelli. optic lobe
- Deutocerebrum The second pair of ganglia process sensory information collected by the antennae.
- Tritocerebrum
- central complex
- Mushroom body[2] antennal lobe with Kenyon cells
- Lateral horn of insect brain
- peripheral nervous system
metathoracic ganglia in the metathorax abdominal ganglia
pars intercerebralis ventral nerve cord Corpus cardiacum corpora allata
