Tritocerebrum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Tritocerebrum is one of the three parts of supraesophageal ganglion of the insect's nervous system. It is the third and final pair of ganglia.[1] The crustaceans second antenna is considered as a very little studied and smallest region of an insect's brain, connected to suboesophagal ganglian by a pair of circumoesophageal connectives.[2][3]
