Mantises are known in particular for their capability to estimate distances to prey by stereoscopic vision. While the initial visual processing centers have been extensively documented, we lack knowledge on the architecture of central brain regions, pivotal for sensory motor transformation and higher brain functions. To close this gap, we provide a three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of the central brain of the Asian mantis, <i>Hierodula membranacea</i>. The atlas facilitates in-depth analysis of neuron ramification regions and aides in elucidating potential neuronal pathways. We integrated seven 3D-reconstructed visual interneurons into the atlas. In total, 42 distinct neuropils of the cerebrum were reconstructed based on synapsin-immunolabeled whole-mount brains. Backfills from the antenna and maxillary palps, as well as immunolabeling of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), further substantiate the identification and boundaries of brain areas. The composition and internal organization of the neuropils were compared to the anatomical organization of the brain of the fruit fly (<i>Drosophila melanogaster</i>) and the two available brain atlases of Polyneoptera—the desert locust (<i>Schistocerca gregaria</i>) and the Madeira cockroach (<i>Rhyparobia maderae</i>). This study paves the way for detailed analyses of neuronal circuitry and promotes cross-species brain comparisons. We discuss differences in brain organization between holometabolous and polyneopteran insects. Identification of ramification sites of the visual neurons integrated into the atlas supports previous claims about homologous structures in the optic lobes of flies and mantises.</p>","PeriodicalId":15552,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Comparative Neurology","volume":"532 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/cne.25607","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140158301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We discovered that Prokr2 is expressed in the TN neurons during the critical period of GnRH-1 neuron formation, migration, and induction of OB morphogenesis.

Here, using orexin-A immunohistochemistry, we describe the distribution, morphology, and nuclear parcellation of orexinergic neurons within the hypothalami of a Congo gray and a Timneh gray parrot, a pied crow, an emu, and a common ostrich. These birds represent a broad phylogeny, with brains ranging in size from 7.85 to 26.5 g.

Stereological analysis revealed a strong correlation, using phylogenetic generalized least squares regression analyses, between brain mass and the total number of orexinergic neurons, as well as soma parameters such as volume and area. Orexinergic axonal terminals evinced two types of boutons, larger and the smaller en passant boutons.

Thus, it is conceivable that the underlaying neural network might have evolved from more ancient respiratory circuits and be made up of homologous components that generate breathing rhythms across vertebrates. In this context, the extant species of stem anurans provide an opportunity to analyze the connection of the neural circuits of lung ventilation and vocalization. Here, we analyzed the fictive lung ventilation and vocalization behavior of isolated brains of the Chinese fire-bellied toad <i>Bombina orientalis</i> during their mating season by nerve root recordings. We discovered significant differences in durations of activation of male brains after stimulation of the statoacoustic nerve or vocalization-relevant forebrain structures in comparison to female brains. The increased durations of motor nerve activities in male brains can be interpreted as fictive calling, as male's advertisement calls in vivo had the same general pattern compared to lung ventilation, but longer duration periods. Female brains react to the corresponding stimulations with the same shorter activity pattern that occurred spontaneously in both female and male brains and thus can be interpreted as fictive lung ventilations. These results support the hypothesis that vocal circuits evolved from ancient respiration networks in the anuran caudal hindbrain.
