Distribution of apSPTR-GF-DP2 positive neurons and fibers in the pleural-pedal ganglia and the abdominal ganglion (whole mounts). (a), pleural-pedal ganglion. (a1, a2), left ganglion, dorsal (a1) and ventral (a2) surfaces. (a3, a4), right ganglion, dorsal (a3) and ventral (a4) surfaces. There is no obvious staining on the dorsal surfaces (a1, a3), but there are several somata and processes on the ventral surfaces (a2, a4) in the pleural and pedal ganglia. (b), abdominal ganglion. There is no obvious staining on the dorsal surface (b1), but there are several somata on the ventral surfaces (b2) in the abdominal ganglia. Extensive fibers and neuropile in the pedal ganglion are also stained. Scale Bars: 200 µm (scale bar in a4 is for a1, a2, a3 and a4; scale bar in b2 is for b1 and b2). Nerve abbreviations: CPe, cerebropedal connective; CPl, cerebropleural connective; BN, branchial nerve.
