The organization of putative octopaminergic pathways in the brain and subesophageal ganglion of the honeybee was investigated with a well-defined polyclonal antiserum against octopamine. Five prominent groups of just over 100 immunoreactive (IR) somata were found in the cerebral ganglion: Neurosecre...
