This paper describes for the first time the organization and fine structure of the brain in the smallest free-living insects Acrotrichis grandicollis, Micado sp., and Nanosella sp. (Ptiliidae, Coleoptera), which were studied using serial histological sections as well as TEM and computer-assisted 3D reconstructions. Some specific structural features related to miniaturization were revealed; the relative size of the brain regions and localization of its structures were analyzed. In spite of the… Expand
