Abstract

The structure of the primary olfactory brain center was studied in male and female adult Ambrostoma quadriimpressum by means of a series of histological sections labeled using the reduced-silver-stain technique. The antennal lobe was elliptical, and the total number of glomeruli was approximately 50 in the antennal lobe in both sexes. There was no sexual dimorphism with respect to the size of the antennal lobe or the number and shape of glomeruli.
