The typical insect brain or insect CNS consists of 10⁵ to 10⁶ neurons.

neuropil

Various degrees of fusion of ganglia.

• Supraesophageal ganglion:
  • Protocerebrum The first pair of ganglia are largely associated with vision; they innervate the compound eyes and ocelli. optic lobe
  • Deutocerebrum The second pair of ganglia process sensory information collected by the antennae.
  • Tritocerebrum
  • central complex
  • Mushroom body antennal lobe with Kenyon cells
  • Lateral horn of insect brain

• Suboesophageal ganglion

• peripheral nervous system
  • stomatogastric nervous system
    • stomatogastric ganglion
