The exact neural projection of the visual fields upon the first and second ganglia of the insect eye

Horridge, George Adrian; Meinertzhagen, I. A.

Description

In apposition eyes with fused rhabdomeres, six retinula cells of one ommatidium have short axons which terminate in a single cartridge. Each ommatidium corresponds to one lamina cartridge, the two ganglion cell axons of which, together with the long axons from that ommatidium and a fifth axon, proceed as a bundle through the lamina-medulla chiasma to form a cartridge of the medulla. The projection of the lamina cartridges upon those of the medulla forms a series exactly in order but reversed...[Show more]
