• The results of the study of the brain of insects during metamorphosis are the most detailed.
• Insect metamorphosis evolved to reduce competition for resources between adults and offspring.
• Metamorphosis began about 350 million years ago, before the advent of dinosaurs.
• Metamorphosis affects the brain of insects, which undergoes significant changes.
• During metamorphosis, the insect brain recycles most of the neurons to function again.
• Metamorphosis changes connections between neurons, destroying old ones and creating new ones.
• Memories of a larva cannot be stored in the brain of an adult insect.
• Associative memories can be associated with smells and direct insects to or away from something.
