A decade of dragonfly neurobiology

During the past ten years there have been about 200 papers written on various aspects of dragonfly neurobiology; these can be divided into several topics – central nervous system, stomodeal nervous system, sensory and motor neurons, mechanoreceptors, chemoreceptors, visual receptors, muscles, ventilation, swimming, prey capture and flight – which are discussed below. Neurosecretion and the physical aspects of vision are not considered here.
