Figure 9. Progressive innervation in AOTUv3B and recurrent innervation in AOTUv3A.
(A–H) Representative AOTUv3B neuron types (Noff magenta) arranged in birth-order, shown in the context of all identified AOTUv3B neuron types merged together (grey). Note one M-topology neuron type (D) produced much earlier than many other M-topology types (e.g. [G] and [H]). Both LAL and IB groups show progressive AOTU-to-SP proximal elaborations (arrows). (I–P) Representative AOTUv3A neuron types (Non green) arranged in birth-order, shown in the context of all identified AOTUv3A neuron types merged together (grey). Note multiple recovery windows for LAL (I,L,O) and PS1 (J,P) groups. Tilted views at a lower magnification are showed to the right; anterior (A) to the left, posterior (P) to the right. Note variable length and direction of extensions at the entry and exit of the shared commissure, and recurrence of similar extension patterns (e.g. [J] and [P]). The commissure entry (arrow) and exit (arrowhead) points are indicated in [M]. (Q–R) Birth-order heatmaps of AOTUv3B (Q) and AOTUv3A (R) morphological groups. Note that the LAL group of neurons appear in a single window in the AOTUv3B hemilineage, but multiple windows in the AOTUv3A hemilineage.
