The application of horseradish peroxidase for tracing the cells innervating the corpus allatum in adult Leptinotarsa decemlineata, using simple instruments, is described. The corpus allatum in this insect appears to be innervated by a single group of about eight cells. The size and position of these cells indicate that they belong to the L-type lateral neurosecretory cells. The axons from each of these cells split into two pathways: one pathway arborizes extensively in the dorsal part of the brain adjacent to the pars intercerebralis whereas the other passes unbranched through the neuropil of the protocerebral lobe and corpus cardiacum into the corpus allatum. Additional cell groups in the pars intercerebralis which were stained when the corpus cardiacum was also contaminated with horseradish peroxidase are illustrated. The possible involvement of the lateral neurosecretory cells in the regulation of juvenile hormone biosynthesis is discussed.
本文描述了使用简单仪器，将辣根过氧化物酶应用于追踪成年马铃薯甲虫中支配咽侧体的细胞。该昆虫的咽侧体似乎由一组约八个细胞支配。这些细胞的大小和位置表明它们属于L型侧神经分泌细胞。这些细胞中的每一个的轴突分成两条通路：一条通路在大脑背侧靠近脑间部的区域广泛分支，而另一条则无分支地穿过原脑叶和心侧体的神经纤维网进入咽侧体。文中还展示了当心侧体也被辣根过氧化物酶污染时，脑间部中被染色的其他细胞群。文中讨论了侧神经分泌细胞在调节保幼激素生物合成中的可能作用。
