[General structure of the mushroom body calyx in brachycera orthorrhapha flies (Diptera)].
The mushroom body calyx in Brachycera Orthorrhapha flies is extremely diverse in the degree of development. In general, the calyx has the anterior, posterior, and dorsal lobes, as well as "sleeves" of glomerular neuropil surrounding Kenyon cell fibers. The anterior lobe of the calyx is found in all species studied. The most complex structure of the calyx is characteristic of the families Empididae and especially Bombyliidae, in which it has all the parts listed above. Brachycera Orthorrhapha flies have three fiber bundles of Kenyon cells, in contrast to four bundles in Drosophila flies. It is assumed that each mushroom body in Brachycera Orthorrhapha flies is formed by descendants of three single neuroblasts.
