Regulation of division of labor in insect societies

TL;DR: A key feature of the division of labor in insect colonies is its plasticity, which enables it to continue to grow, develop, and ultimately produce a new generation of reproductive males and females despite changing colony conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Organization of the Chemosensory System in Drosophila Melanogaster: A Review

TL;DR: This review surveys the organization of the olfactory and gustatory systems in the imago and in the larva of Drosophila melanogaster, both at the sensory and the central level.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Drosophila mushroom body is a quadruple structure of clonal units each of which contains a virtually identical set of neurones and glial cells

TL;DR: It is shown that the four mushroom body neuroblasts (MBNbs) give birth exclusively to the neurones and glial cells of the MB, and that each of the four MBNb clones contributes to the entire MB structure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Associative odor learning in Drosophila abolished by chemical ablation of mushroom bodies

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that MBs mediate associative odor learning in flies, and that adult flies developing without MBs are unable to perform in a classical conditioning paradigm that tests associative learning of odor cues and electric shock.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development of the Drosophila mushroom bodies: sequential generation of three distinct types of neurons from a neuroblast

TL;DR: The cellular organization of mushroom bodies and the development of different MB neurons at the single cell level is illustrated to allow for future studies on the molecular mechanisms of mushroom body development.

A low-viscosity epoxy resin embedding medium for electron microscopy.

TL;DR: A low-viscosity embedding medium based on ERL-4206 is recommended for use in electron microscopy and has a long pot life of several days and infiltrates readily because of its low viscosity.
Journal ArticleDOI

A simplified lead citrate stain for use in electron microscopy.

TL;DR: This communication reports the use of a commercially available lead citratO to eliminate the lead citrate stain in electron microscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Histopathologic technic and practical histochemistry.

TL;DR: Histopathologies technic and practical histochemistry, Histopathologie techno-practical histochemistry and the role of nanofiltration in medicine and drug discovery and abuse are studied.
Journal ArticleDOI

The fine structure of neurons.

TL;DR: Th Thin sections of representative neurons from intramural, sympathetic and dorsal root ganglia, medulla oblongata, and cerebellar cortex were studied with the aid of the electron microscope and intermediate forms between the two membranous systems have been found.
