3 Brain or ganglion, cross-section Typical nerve neural lamella perineurium (secretes the neural lamella) giant fibers nerve cell bodies fiber tracts Glial cells: 1. Protection (cushioning) 2. Nutrition (passing nutrients & salts to neurons) 3. Food storage (glycogen) 4.

8 CNS function: Reflex behavior 1. Reflex excitability e.g. light, through dorsal ocelli 2. Reflex immobilization total inhibition of CNS Thanatosis Warning attitudes (e.g. caterpillars) Camouflage (e.g. stick insects) 3. General immobilization (insect sleeps ) Remove antennae Remove halteres in Diptera Block off all ocelli 4. Note: Brain is the inhibitory center Example: mantis male with head eaten Nymphalis antiopa the mourning cloak butterfly (experiments on neural integration) (also: brain ruling ganglia) 8

9 Reflex immobilization (Thanatosis) Thanatosis in a gryllid Death-feigning beetle, Crytoglossa variolosa (Tenebrionidae) Learning 1. Habituation (learning not to respond) cedarwood oil or some other challenge constant prodding of a cockroach 2. Conditioning (responding to something previously ineffectual) floral odors; stimulus assoc. w/ feeding 3. Imprinting (special type of conditioning) critical developmental stage (plasticity) host shifts, host fidelity, and speciation 4. Trial and Error beetle courtship long axis 5. Latent Learning (recognition of landmarks) solitary wasps, bee foraging, ant mazelearning 6. Time sense (cuing to 24 hour cycle) antlion Note: Percent of brain made up of corpora pedunculata: workers = 13.5% queen = 9.2% drones = 5.6% Pompilidae (Hymenoptera) 9

10 Sophisticated Learning Latent learning (landmark orientation) (Digger wasp Hymenoptera: Sphecidae) (not immediately expressed as an overt response) Conditioning [to nectar sources] (Honey bee Hymenoptera: Apidae) Learning through Imprinting (host fidelity and speciation Diptera: Tephritidae: Rhagoletis pomonella) hawthorns apples overlap 10
