| Research Abstract |
The identifiable interneurons responding to humidity and temperature in the protocerebrum of the cockroach, Periplaneta americana, were investigated with intracellular staining and recording method. We found the followings. Themulti-output neurons in the antennal lobe, the output neurons in the mushroom body, and the neurons in the central body responded to humidity and temperature changes. The local and output neurons locating in postero-ventral area of the lateral protocerebrum also responded to humidity and temperature changes. This area was suggested to be a part of the integration center of humidity and temperature. Inaddition, the distribution of glomeruli in the antennal lobe was also clarified.
