Mushroom bodies are prominent neuropils found in annelids and in all arthropod groups
except crustaceans. First explicitly identified in 1850, the mushroom bodies differ in size and …

▪ Abstract The antennal lobe of insects has emerged as an excellent model for olfactory
processing in the CNS. In the present review we compile data from areas where substantial …

Although the importance of the Drosophila mushroom body in olfactory learning and
memory has been stressed, virtually nothing is known about the brain regions to which it is …

Here, we show that a nitric oxide synthase (NOS) pseudogene is expressed in the CNS of
the snail Lymnaea stagnalis. The pseudo-NOS transcript includes a region of significant …

The olfactory lobes of crustaceans and the antennal lobes of insects are the primary
olfactory brain centers in Tetraconata. Recent publications considered the apparent lack of …

It is well established that nitric oxide (NO) acts as a signalling molecule in the nervous
system of both mammals and insects. In contrast to classical transmitters, the membrane …

Nitric oxide has been shown to be implicated in neural plasticity that underlies processes of
learning and memory. In the honeybee, studies on the role of nitric oxide in associative …

Mushroom bodies are paired centers in insect brains that are thought to be crucial in
olfactory learning and memory. Early neuroanatomical descriptions suggested that the …

A role for the NO-cGMP pathway in mediating chemosensory activation of feeding is
suggested by intense NADPH diaphorase staining observed in nerve fibers that project from …

Nitric oxide (NO) is an unconventional neurotransmitter and neuromodulator molecule that is
increasingly found to have important signaling functions in animals from nematodes to …
