Preferred Label : mushroom body;
Uberon definition : Prominent lobed neuropils found in annelids and all arthropods except crustaceans.
They are thought to be involved in olfactory associative learning and memory[MESH]
Mushroom body neuropils are divided into calyces, pedunculus, and its subsequent lobes.
In Drosophila these are the alpha, beta, and gamma lobes.;
Uberon synonym : mushroom bodies;
Uberon related term : corpora pedunculata; corps pédonculés@fr;
Uberon Taxon note : Also in annelids. 'Comparison to the vertebrate pallium reveals that the annelid mushroom
bodies develop from similar molecular coordinates within a conserved overall molecular
brain topology and that their development involves conserved patterning mechanisms
and produces conserved neuron types that existed already in the proto- stome-deuterostome
ancestors. These data indicate deep homology of pallium and mushroom bodies and date
back the origin of higher brain centers to prebilaterian times';
