Abstract
Afferents of Tomosvary's organ innervate multiple synaptic sites withi n the ipsilateral protocerebrum, i.e. neuropil areas proximal to the 2 nd optic neuropil, in the dorsolateral protocerebrum? and surrounding the pedunculus of the ''mushroom bodies''. Sensory input via Tomosvary 's organ in Lithobius appears to follow a peculiar neuronal pathway by passing the deutocerebrum and tritocerebrum which are innervated by ma ny head sensilla in arthropods.
