中文摘要：

中央复合体是昆虫脑内具有显著特征的一个重要结构，它位于昆虫脑的中央，主要包括四个亚结构，相互间形成高度组织化的网络连接。中央复合体通过大范围神经元与多种感觉神经元和运动神经元相连，是一个控制脑的高级功能的中心。近年来的研究表明中央复合体参与了记忆的形成、运动的协调与控制以及处理偏振光进行导航等多种功能。揭示中央复合体参与以及调控这些复杂功能的神经机制，必将会极大地促进我们在神经回路层次上理解脑的高级复杂功能。

英文摘要：

The central complex is a prominent structure located in the midline of the insect brain. It＇s comprised of four main substructures which are all interconnected. Projections to the central complex exist from various sensory regions and thoracic have revealed that the central complex is an motor centers through large field neurons. Recent studies important center for high-order brain function including learning and memory, locomotor control, and polarization perception. Understanding how the central complex mediates these complex behaviors will greatly promote our knowledge of animal behavior.
