Figure 6

3D serial reconstruction of visual system of left hemisphere in E. italicus on the basis of Cobalt fills. A, B, 3D reconstruction showing arrangement of neuropils. A, lateral view; B, frontal view. Grey, protocerebrum; yellow, neuropil; red, median eye neuropils; green, lateral eye neuropils; blue, arcuate body. C–E, three selected sections (Cobalt fills) showing original data for reconstruction. C, parasagittal section showing beginning of first lateral eye visual neuropil. D, parasagittal section showing first median and lateral eye visual neuropils, and beginning of arcuate body. E, mid-sagittal section without visual neuropils but with arcuate body. AB, arcuate body; LON, lateral eye optic nerve; L1, first lateral eye visual neuropil; L2, second lateral eye visual neuropil; MON, median eye optic nerve; M1, first median eye visual neuropil; M2, second median eye visual neuropil; M/L2, region of L2 or M2 with Cobalt-filled R-cell axons of both median and lateral eyes.
