Figure 6. Ebony glia are located near aminergic neurons.

Figure 6

Ebony-containing cells are in close proximity to TH (Tyrosine Hydroxylase)-positive (A) or serotonergic (B) neurons of the larval and adult brains. In panel A, green = Ebony, Red = TH; in panel B, green = Ebony, Red = serotonin). Panel A shows a whole mount of the entire larval brain. Panel B shows the larval ventral nervous system (VNS) minus the brain lobes. The proximity of Ebony glia and 5-HT neurons is more easily visualized in the VNS. Insets show high magnification views of Ebony glia in proximity to TH-or 5-HT-positive neuronal processes of the adult brain.
