The supraesophageal ganglion (arthropod brain) is the first part of the insect central nervous system. It receives and processes information from the first, second, and third metameres. The supraesophageal ganglion lies dorsal to the esophagus and consists of three parts, each a pair of ganglia: * The ''protocerebrum'', associated with the eyes (compound eyes and ocelli). * The ''deutocerebrum'' processes sensory information from the antennae. It consists of two parts, the antennal lobe that receives axons of olfactory receptor neurons from the antenna and the dorsal lobe that receives mechanosensory and gustatory receptor neurons from the antenna.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Invertebrate Brain Platform )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Deutocerebrum )〕 The dorsal lobe also contains motor neurons which controls the antennal muscles.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Deutocerebrum )〕 * The ''tritocerebrum'' integrates sensory inputs from the previous two pairs of ganglia. The lobes of the tritocerebrum split to circumvent the esophagus and begin the subesophageal ganglion. The subesophageal ganglion continues the nervous system and lies ventral to the esophagus. Finally, the segmental ganglia are found in each body segment as a fused ganglion and they provide the segments with some autonomous control. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「supraesophageal ganglion」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
