배추흰나비 유충 뇌에 분포하는 세로토닌 면역반응성 신경원(이하 세로토닌 세포)이 발생에 따라 형태학적으로 어떻게 분화해 나가는지를 조사하였다. 1령 유충뇌와 2령 유충뇌는 각각 20개의 세로토닌 세포를 포함하였다. 1령 유충뇌에서는 세로토닌 면역 반응성 섬유(이하 세로토닌 섬유) 한무리가 뇌교련을 형성하였고 이같은 섬유의 대부분은 반대쪽 중앙 신경망에 종지하였다. 2령 유충의 뇌에서는 세로토닌 섬유의 대부분이 뇌교련을 형성하였고 1령 유충뇌에서 보다는 그들의 수가 더 많이 관찰되었다. 이 섬유의 종말이 형성하는 보다 풍부한 arborization은 중앙 신경망의 상당한 부분을 차지하였다. 3령 유충뇌의 세로토닌 세포는 22개 였고 세로토닌 섬유들의 구성하는 뇌교련수도 3개로 증가되었으며 세로토닌 섬유의 대부분은 뇌교련을 형성하였다. 30개의 세로토닌 섬유뿐만 아니라 뇌의 전후 방향으로 달리는 세로토닌 섬유도 포함하였다.

Polyclonal antiserum against Manduca sexta allatotropin has been utilized to investigate the localization of allatotropin-immunoreactivity in the brain of the si1k moth Bombyx mori. Manduca sexta allatotropin-immunoreactive (Mas-AT-IR) neurons were found in all larval brains investigated, but not in prepupal, pupal and adult brains. In the larval stages, first appearance of Mas-AT-immunoreactivity w8s shown in the brain of first instar larvae, which contains four pairs of bilateral Mas-AT-IR cell bodies. Labeled neurons increased to six pairs in the second instar larval brain, including two pairs of median neurosecretory cells in the pars intercerebralis. In the third and fourth instar larvae, five pairs of labeled cell bodies were distributed throughout each brain. In the fifth instar, there were about ten pairs of bilateral cell bodies in the day-1 brain, about seven pairs in the day-3 brains, and five pairs in the day-5 brains, respectively. Mas-AT-labeling was observed in both axons within nervi corpora cavdiaci (NCC) 1+11 and corpora allata. This suggests that the Mas-AT produced from the brain neurons is transported via some axons of the NCC 1+11 and nervi corpora allati I to the corpora allata, which appears to be a main accumulation site for the Mas-AT neuropeptide in some brain neurons produced in B. mori.

The antiserum against locustatachykinin I, originally isolated from brain and retrocerebral complex of the locust Locusta migratoria, has been used to investigate changes in number, localization, and structure of locustatachykinin I-immunoreactive (LomTK I-IR) neurons in the brains of the common cutworm, Spodoptera Iitura, during postembryonic development. These neurons are found at larval, pupal, and adult stages. In the larval stages, the first instar larva shows the first appearance of about 8 LomTK I-IR neurons. These neurons gradually increase in number from the second to fourth instar larvae which have the largest number of about 92 in all postembryonic stages. Thereafter, these neurons decrease to about 28 in number in the 5-day-old pupa. However, they begin to rise again from the 7-day-old pupal stage, eventually reaching to about 90 in the l-day-old adult. The developing larval brains contain cell bodies of these neurons in most neuromeres. After the metamorphosis of larva to pupa and adult, localization of these neuronal cell bodies is confined to the specific cerebral neuromeres. The 7-day-old pupal brain shows the location of these neuronal cell bodies in pars intercerebralis, pars lateralis of protocerebrum, deutocerebrum, tritocerebrum, optic lobe-near region, and subesophageal ganglion. In the l-day-old adult, however, the brain has these cell bodies only in some neuromeres of protocerebrum, deutocerebrum, and subesophageal ganglion. Throughout the postembryonic life, changes in structure of these neurons coincide with changes in number and localization of these neurons. These findings suggest that changes in number, localization, and structure of these neurons reflect differentiation of these neurons to adult type.
