The Study of the Micromorphology, Ultrastructure and Physiology of Insect Central Nervous System

Abstract

A number of experiments have been carried out on retinular cells, axons associated with retinular cells, and those tissues associated with the visual sensory receptors. This study continues to be important in determining the relationship of neural fibers associated with the compound eye and should continue to be helpful in explaining how certain lower animals accomplish visual discrimination and orientation.
