HISTOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF THE NEUROSECRETORY CELLS IN THE ADULT BRAIN OF TRIPHAENA PRONUBA (LEPIDOPTERA: NOCTUIDAE)1
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 May 2012
Abstract
Four major categories of neurosecretory cells (A, B, C, D) were distinguished in the brain of Triphaena pronuba L. by staining sections with paraldehyde fuchsin and counterstains. These comprised nine types of cells, seven of which were recognizable for analysis of their secretory products. Histochemical tests indicate that the lepidopteron brain has a multiplicity of neurosecretory cells, each type producing chemically different secretions.
