The effects of diazinon on AChE activity in different regions of honeybee brain. AL, antennal lobe; MB-lip, lip of calyces in mushroom body, OL-LA, lamina of optic lobes; OL-ME, medulla of optic lobes; OL-LO, lobula of optic lobes; LP-lateral protocerebrum. Data are presented as optical density (OD); mean ± standard deviation (SD). Number of bees: N=13 for control group and N=8 for diazinon-treated group;*significantly different from the control (unpaired t-test, p<0.05).
