Olfactory projection neuron pathways in two species of marine Isopoda (Peracarida, Malacostraca, Crustacea)
چکیده انگلیسی


• The olfactory globular tracts form a chiasm in the midline of the brain.
• Projection neurons innervate the ipsi- and contralateral protocerebrum.
• Projection neurons innervate medulla terminalis and hemiellipsoid body.
• This innervation is resembling the ground pattern of Caridoida.

The neuroanatomy of the olfactory pathway has been intensely studied in many representatives of Malacostraca. Nevertheless, the knowledge about bilateral olfactory integration pathways is mainly based on Decapoda. Here, we investigated the olfactory projection neuron pathway of two marine isopod species, Saduria entomon and Idotea emarginata, by lipophilic dye injections into the olfactory neuropil. We show that both arms of the olfactory globular tract form a chiasm in the center of the brain, as known from several other crustaceans. Furthermore, the olfactory projection neurons innervate both the medulla terminalis and the hemiellipsoid body of the ipsi- and the contralateral hemisphere. Both protocerebral neuropils are innervated to a comparable extent. This is reminiscent of the situation in the basal decapod taxon Dendrobranchiata. Thus, we propose that an innervation by the olfactory globular tract of both the medulla terminalis and the hemiellipsoid body is characteristic of the decapod ground pattern, but also of the ground pattern of Caridoida.
