Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution, Discovery, and Interpretations of Arthropod Mushroom Bodies
TL;DR: An overview of the history of research on the mushroom bodies, as well as comparative and evolutionary considerations, provides a conceptual framework for discussing the roles of these neuropils.

TL;DR: A consortium of neurobiologists studying arthropod brains, the Insect Brain Name Working Group, has established the present hierarchical nomenclature system, using the brain of Drosophila melanogaster as the reference framework, while taking the brains of other taxa into careful consideration for maximum consistency and expandability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Subdivision of the drosophila mushroom bodies by enhancer-trap expression patterns
TL;DR: Rather than being homogenous, the Drosophila mushroom bodies are found to be compound neuropils in which parallel subcomponents exhibit discrete patterns of gene expression, and a model for mushroom body function is proposed in which Parallel channels of information flow, perhaps with different computational properties, subserve different behavioral roles.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Organization of Extrinsic Neurons and Their Implications in the Functional Roles of the Mushroom Bodies in Drosophila melanogaster Meigen
Kei Ito,Kazumi Suzuki,Kazumi Suzuki,Patricia S. Estes,Mani Ramaswami,Daisuke Yamamoto,Nicholas J. Strausfeld +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a novel presynaptic reporter construct, UAS-neuronal synaptobrevin-green fluorescent protein (n-syb-GFP), was used to reveal the direction of information in the GAL4-labeled neurons.
