Abstract
The spontaneous electrical activity in cerebral ganglia of several insect species does not disappear during diapause. Some recordings of electrical activity in pupae of the cecropia silkworm (in which the brain is considered to be electrically "silent" during diapause) suggest that at least some activity is maintained, but possibly it is restricted to certain regions of the brain.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
