neuropile

There is also a neuropile in the centre, through which all ganglia channel signals.

Both these and the sensilla are linked to the brain via the neuropile.

The neuropile is composed of axons, collaterals and dendrites, the latter often grouped locally into dense glomeruli.

Synaptic junctions between neurons lie in the ganglionic neuropile (especially the glomeruli), where associations occur between axon branches or dendrites.

The cells of the lobual plate have a special name called tangential cells composed of roughly about 50 neurons, and they arborize extensively in the neuropile.

Each mushroom body consists essentially of one or two dorsal cup-like calyces of neuropile containing masses of neurons, the so-called calyx cells or globuli cells.

Transverse Sections through a typical ganglion show the outermost perineurium and neural lamella enclosing groups of neurons that form the ganglionic cortex and enclose a central neuropile.

Also in entomology, a flattened cap of neuropile in an insect brain (a component of the corpus pedunculatum) and by certain female insects, an expansion of the oviduct into which the ovarioles open.

These profiles were not surrounded by α-ARD immunoreactivity on their side facing away from the lobula plate, suggesting that the main dendrites have a lower density of nAChRs than the higher order branches of the dendrites deeper within the neuropile.

Neuropil, sometimes referred to as "neuropile," is a broad term defined as any area in the nervous system composed of mostly unmyelinated axons, dendrites and glial cell processes that forms a synaptically dense region containing a relatively low number of cell bodies.

Fielden (2963) has shown that the roots of the segmental nerves in Anax imperator arise from separate dorsal and ventral tracts in the neuropile; sensory activities predominate in the ventral tract and motor activity occurs almost entirely in the dorsal part.
