FIG. 2.

Axotomy in the absence of hemolymph does not induce long-term hypermorphogenesis (LTH-M). A: photomicrographs of a Control neuron on Day 1 and the same neuron on Day 2. B: photomicrographs of an Axotomized neuron on Day 1, prior to axotomy (left), the same neuron immediately after axotomy on Day 1 (0:00 h, middle), and the neuron 24 h later on Day 2 (right). Scale bar for this and subsequent micrographs, 100 μm. C: change in the number of branch points from Day 1 to Day 2 for the Axotomized and Control groups. There was no significant difference between the 2 groups.
