Its ingestion by the Fore causes kuru, and when starved, it consumes beta-hydroxybutyrate and acetoacetate.
The 2, 3, 10, and 11 exons in the pre-mRNA for tropomyosin are spliced out for its expression in this organ. It gives its name to a hormone in Rhodnius secreted by the corpora cardiaca that stimulates ecdysone release, causing molting. Its ingestion by the Fore causes kuru, and when starved, it consumes beta-hydroxybutyrate and acetoacetate. Losing function in the paresis phase of syphilis and in beri-beri, it was mapped by Korbinian Brodmann, and developed from the ectoderm of the gastrula. Its stem includes medulla and pons.
