Fig 4. Comparison of soma size distributions of TA/OA-l-ir neurons between soldiers and pseudergates.

Fig 4

(A) Each upper and lower panel indicates the soma size distribution of TA/OA-l-ir neurons in soldiers and pseudergates in the neuronal cluster, respectively (See also Table 3). Dark grey histograms indicate statistical differences between castes. (B) Projection targets of TA/OA-l-ir neurons. The TA/OA neuronal clusters and projection target are indicated as circles and rounded squares, respectively. Neuronal clusters that are soldier- and pseudergate-specifically enlarged are coloured black and white, respectively. Light grey fill indicates no significant differences in the soma sizes between castes. Target regions are subdivided as antennal nerve (Ant N), mandibular nerve (Md N), optic lobe, protocerebrum (Proto), deutocerebrum (Deuto), central complex (C Complex), tritocerebrum (Trito), corpora cardiaca (CC), mandibular segment of SOG (Md seg), maxillary segment of SOG (Mx seg), and thoracic and abdominal ganglia (Thorac/Abd G). The target regions of the soldier-enlarged neurons are filled in dark grey.
