Novel middle-type Kenyon cells in the honeybee brain revealed by area-preferential gene expression analysis.

The mushroom bodies (a higher center) of the honeybee (Apis mellifera L) brain were considered to comprise three types of intrinsic neurons, including large- and small-type Kenyon cells that have distinct gene expression profiles. Although previous neural activity mapping using the immediate early g...
