Kenyon cell

Kenyon cell

In arthropods' nervous system, Kenyon cells are mushroom body neurons derived from globuli cells. Some species possess hundreds of thousands of Kenyon cells. The cells are subdivided into subtypes; for example, those that have their cell bodies outside of the calyx cup are called "clawed Kenyon cells". cite journal |author=Strausfeld NJ |title=Organization of the honey bee mushroom body: representation of the calyx within the vertical and gamma lobes |journal=J.
