Abstract: | Summary The neuronal pathways connecting the stomatogastric nervous system with the retrocerebral complex of the cockroach, Periplaneta americana, were investigated by means of axonal cobalt chloride iontophoresis. Somata in the hypocerebral ganglion and in the nervus recurrens sending their axons to different parts of the stomatogastric nervous system were traced. Some axons in the oesophageal nerve arise from large perikarya in the anterior part of the pars intercerebralis and pass via the NCCI to the corpora cardiaca and the oesophageal nerve. They form a profuse dendritic tree in the protocerebrum. Fibers of the NCC I and NCC II as well as the NCA I and NCA II enter the stomatogastric nervous system via the hypocerebral ganglion. |
