Anatomical organization of neurons descending from the supraesophageal ganglion of the lobster.
A population of somata in the supraesophageal ganglion of the lobster was filled by retrograde diffusion of cobalt through the circumesophageal connectives. These somata are located predominantly in the dorsal anterior median region of the protocerebrum. They are organized into a contralateral and two ipsilateral clusters. These 3 clusters include approximately one-half of the neurons in the dorsal anterior median region.
