Immunolabeling of larvae of Gymnomenia pellucida. Maximum intensity projections of confocal image stacks; apical is up and scale bar equals 40 μm in all panels. A: Labeling of acetylated α-tubulin-like immunoreactive (−LIR) components; 6 to 7 days posthatching (dph) larva scanned in left lateral aspect showing lateral neurite bundles (arrows). B: Labeling of acetylated α-tubulin-LIR components; 8 to 9 dph larva scanned in ventral aspect showing lateral neurite bundles (arrows) with neurites (double arrowheads) branching off to the prototroch and the lateral parts of the pre-trochal region. C: Labeling of FMRF-amide-LIR components; 9 to 10 dph larva. D: Labeling of serotonin-LIR components; 10 to 11 dph larva scanned in dorsal aspect showing lateral (arrows) and ventral (arrowheads) neurite bundles and the ventromedian nerve plexus (asterisks). Abbreviations: ao, apical organ; at, apical tuft; np, neuropil of apical organ; pnp, prototrochal nerve plexus; pt, prototroch; snt, serotonin-LIR neurites to terminal body region; src, suprarectal commissure; tt, telotroch.
