Z-projections (a, d, gi) and 3-D reconstructions (b, c, e and f) of the nervous system of Epiphanes senta females (ac, h, i) and males (dg), visualized with CLSM combined with antibody staining against tyrosinated-tubulin (white) and DAPI staining of cell nuclei (cyan). Entire animals in dorso-ventral (a, b, d) and lateral (c, e) views. Details of the anterior part of the nervous system (f), brain (g, h) and posterior structures (i).
