Family of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-contacting neurons. (A) Schematic drawings and picture of OPN5 positive CSF-contacting neurons in the paraventricular organ (PVO) of quail. (B) Schematic drawing and picture of coronet cells in the salmon saccus vasculosus (SV). The SV consists of coronet cells (C) and supporting cells (S). Globules of coronet cells are based on 9 × 2 + 0 cilia. (C) Schematic drawing and picture of a mammalian retina and photoreceptor. The outer segments of rod and cone cells are also based on 9 × 2 + 0 cilia. *third ventrile. RPE, retinal pigment epithelium, OS, outer segment, IS, inner segment, ONL, outer nuclear layer, INL inner nuclear layer, GCL, ganglion cell layer. Scale bars indicate 20 μm.
