Organization of catecholamine and serotonin-immunoreactive neurons in the corpora pedunculata of the desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria Forsk.
Catecholamine (CA)-containing and serotonin (5-HT)-immunoreactive fibers were shown in the mushroom body of Schistocerca gregaria. Both fiber systems occupy distinct areas in the mushroom body. None of these amines could be detected in the Kenyon cell bodies. The 5-HT fibers and many of the CA fibers originate from few extrinsic neurons with large and highly arborized processes concentrated in the commissural pathway linking mushroom bodies to each other and to different brain regions (e.g. optic lobe, lateral neuropil).
