TLDR
Flight motor neuron somata in the mesothoracic ganglion of the locust, Schistocerca gregaria, were identified and mapped in a three-dimensional model and main branching patterns of the neurons are described and seen to reflect a logical organization.About:

Embryogenesis of an insect nervous system. I. A map of the thoracic and abdominal neuroblasts in Locusta migratoria.
TL;DR: The maps show that the neuroblasts are as reliable in their number and arrangement as the adult cells they produce, and are intended as a first step in an analysis of the relation between the progeny of different neuroblast and the family of neurons which each neuroblast produces.

Anatomical studies of the insect central nervous system: A ground-plan of the midbrain and an introduction to the central complex in the locust, Schistocerca gregaria (Orthoptera)
TL;DR: The supra-oesophageal ganglion (brain) of Schistocerca gregaria Forskal has been studied at the light-microscopical level using Wigglesworth's osmic acid-ethyl gallate method and a ground-plan indicates that the central complex is fundamentally organized on the basis of 16 repetitive groups of neurones.

Monosynaptic connexions between wing stretch receptors and flight motoneurones of the locust.
TL;DR: The connexions between stretch receptors of the wings and motoneurones innervating flight muscles have been studied anatomically and physiologically and it is expected that the stretch receptor will influence the time at which a mot oneurone will spike and hence have an effect on the amplitude of the upstroke and upon the phase relationship between spikes of motoneurs.

N. M. Tyrer,G. E. Gregory +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the thoracic and sub-oesophageal ganglia of locusts were examined in three species: Chortoicetes terminifera (Walker), Schistocerca gregaria (Forskal) and Locusta migratoria migratorioides (Reiche and Fairmaire).

Neuronal geometry: determination with a technique of intracellular dye injection.
TL;DR: Repeated injection of the same cells in ganglia from different animals showed that cells have characteristic shapes and that the neuropil is highly structured.

Physiological and chemical architecture of a lobster ganglion with particular reference to gamma-aminobutyrate and glutamate.
TL;DR: The aim of the present work was to develop methods for finding and isolating the cell bodies of efferent excitatory and inhibitory neurons within the lobster central nervous system.
