3D-reconstructions and virtual 4D-visualization to study metamorphic brain development in the sphinx moth <i>Manduca sexta</i>
During metamorphosis, the transition from the larva to the adult, the insect brain undergoes considerable remodeling: New neurons are integrated while larval neurons are remodeled or eliminated. One well acknowledged model to study metamorphic brain development is the sphinx moth Manduca sexta. To f...
