Deep homology of arthropod central complex and vertebrate basal ganglia.
Abstract
Of Flies and Men: Similarities of brain structure, function, and behavior are usually ascribed to convergent evolution. In their review, Strausfeld and Hirth (p. 157 ) identify multiple commonalities shared by vertebrate basal ganglia and a system of forebrain centers in arthropods called the central complex. The authors conclude that circuits essential to behavioral choice originated very early across phyla.

Dedicated memory systems for compound patterns have been identified in vertebrates, arthropods and cephalopods, and some homologous structures have been observed in annelids, platyhelminths, nemerteans and aceols.
“Such dedicated memory systems have been identified in vertebrates, arthropods and cephalopods and some homologous structures have been observed in annelids, platyhelminths and nemerteans and even aceols (Strausfeld and Hirth, 2013; Wolff and Strausfeld, 2016).”

Similarly interacting brain centers, analogous or homologous to vertebrate regions, are present in invertebrate phyla such as arthropods and some annelids.
“Similarly interacting brain centers, analogous or homologous to these vertebrate regions, are present in invertebrate phyla such as arthropods and some annelids (for details see Tomer et al., 2010; Strausfeld and Hirth, 2013; Barron and Klein, 2016; Klein and Barron, 2016).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
