Architectural Principles and Evolution of the Arthropod Central Nervous System

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Arthropod Biology and Evolution

Abstract

This is an exciting time for arthropod neuroanatomists! A wealth of reviews, special issues, book chapters, and entire book volumes published during the last 10 years shows the unbroken interest in and enthusiasm for the arthropod nervous system and for gaining insights into its architecture, physiology, and aspects of neuroethology (Barth and Schmid 2001; Wiese 2001, 2002; Barth 2002; North and Greenspan 2007; Breithaupt and Thiel 2011, Galizia et al. 2012; Land and Nilsson 2012; Strausfeld 2012). Numerous review articles and book chapters witness that neurobiology is one of the most active fields of arthropod research. Recently, featured topics are, for example, the crustacean central nervous system (Schmidt and Mellon 2011; Harzsch et al. 2012; Sandeman et al. in press), structure and function of crustacean chemosensory sensilla (e.g. Hallberg and Skog 2011; Mellon and Reidenbach 2011), chelicerate strain detection systems (Barth 2012), and insect olfaction (Galizia and Szyska 2008; Hansson and Stensmyr 2011; Hansson et al. 2011; Sachse and Krieger 2011). Moreover, the central nervous system and visual organs of neglected taxa such as Myriapoda (Sombke et al. 2011a, 2012), Onychophora (Mayer 2006; Strausfeld et al. 2006a, b; Eriksson and Stollewerk 2010; Whitington and Mayer 2011), Trilobita (Clarkson et al. 2006), and Xiphosura (Battelle 2006) have been analyzed with contemporary techniques.
