An atlas of the developing Tribolium castaneum brain reveals conservation in anatomy and divergence in timing to Drosophila melanogaster

MS Farnworth, G Bucher… - Journal of Comparative …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Insect brains are formed by conserved sets of neural lineages whose fibers form cohesive
bundles with characteristic projection patterns. Within the brain neuropil, these bundles …
