Fig. 10

FMRF-LIR in the nervous system of Zelinkaderes yong. Anterior is up in all panels. A Schematic representation, ventral view. FMRF-LIR is overlaid upon a background representing α-tubulin-LIR. Grey shading on the left margin marks the different body regions. B–H Confocal Z-stack projections of specimens co-labelled with FMRFamide (B–H) and DAPI (D, F, H). Colour legend in (B) applies to (C), legend in (E, F) applies to (G, H). B Detail of the brain neuropil, associated somata and ventral nerve cord, ventral view. C Same specimen as in (B) with a deeper focal point showing the brain neuropil and the bipolar somata, dorsal view. D Zoom into the brain neuropil in (C) showing a bipolar somata. E, F Ventral nerve cord and associated somata of segments 4-7, ventral view. G, H Ventral nerve cord and associated somata of segments 7-10, ventral view. Arrowheads mark the position of FMR-LIR somata of the brain in (B–D). Scale bars: 20 μm. Abbreviations: asb, anterior somata of the brain; cne, convergent neurite; i, introvert; n, neck; np, neuropil; psb, posterior somata of the brain; t, trunk; vnc, ventral nerve cord; vncs, ventral nerve cord somata. Numbers refer to segments
