Synaptic organization and division of labor in the exceptionally polymorphic ant Pheidole rhea.

Neuroscience letters - 29 May 2018

Gordon Darcy G, Traniello James F A

Abstract excerpt

Social insect polyphenisms provide models to examine the neural basis of division of labor and anatomy of the invertebrate social brain. Worker size-related behavior is hypothesized to enhance task performance, raising questions concerning the integration of morphology, behavior, and cellular neuroarchitecture, and how variation in sensory inputs and cognitive demands of behaviorally differentiated workers is...
