| Glial cells exist throughout the visual system, and play essential roles in various aspects of neural development and functionThe organization of visual system in Apis cerana cerana was comparatively studied by using anatomy and histochemical methodThe results showed that in the Apis cerana cerana visual system, glial cells were classified into three categories based on the position of their cell bodies, cell morphology: surface-, cortex-, and neuropil- associated gliaIn the lamina, glial cells were classified into six categories: marginal glia, epithelial glia, proximal satellite glia, distal satellite glia, pseudocartridge glia and fenestrated gliaIt lays an essential foundation for studying glia function in insect brain |
