Figure 7

Localization of neuronal somata associated with the second and third lip papillae nerves in Euperipatoides rowelli. Retrograde fills with dextran coupled to a fluorescent marker. Maximum projection confocal micrographs. Anterior is up in all images. Inset illustrates the position of the labeled somata and fibers in the central nervous system. (A) Fill of the second lip papillae nerve (L2). Note the lack of neuronal cell bodies associated with the L2 fibers (arrowheads). (B) Fill of the third lip papillae nerve (L3). Note the position of neuronal cell bodies in the deutocerebrum as well as further posteriorly outside the brain. Abbreviations: ab, anterior bundle; dc, deutocerebrum; al, anterior lateral bundle; am, anterior median bundle; L2 and L3, second and third lip papillae nerves; nc, nerve cord; pb, posterior bundle; pc, protocerebrum; pl, posterior lateral bundle; pm, posterior median bundle; sn, slime papilla nerve. Scale bars: 100 μm (A,B).
