Metamorphosis of the Insect Nervous System

Influences of the Periphery on the Postembryonic Development of the Antennal Sensory Pathway in the Brain of Manduca sexta

  • Chapter
Model Neural Networks and Behavior

Abstract

During the development of the nervous system, specific cell-cell contacts form among maturing neurons. The mechanisms by which those specific interactions take place and lead to the formation of appropriate synaptic connections and the establishment of normal neural pathways are of great interest in contemporary developmental neurobiology. Similarly intriguing is the question of the role of such cell-cell contacts in the survival and differentiation of the participating neurons.
