Figure 2. Major Neuropils, Tracts, and Commissures of the VNC.

Figure 2

(A) Major Neuropils and Tracts—segmented VNC shown in transverse and lateral sections illustrating the outlines of the major neuropils and longitudinal tracts described in this study. The tectulum domains are shown in different shades of green, and the leg neuropil domains are shown in shades of blue. To further aid visualization, labeled tracts are only shown in the left half of the transverse sections. The plane of the transverse sections is indicated by dotted lines.

(B) The position of the major commissural pathways shown on a lateral section at the midline of the VNC. Tracts derived from the same larval commissure are shown in the same colors. An unlabeled section is provided to show the detail unhindered by labeling. See also Figure S1 and Video S2. A list of the abbreviations is given in Table 1. Scale 50 μm.
