Fig. 2From: Expression of Hox, Cdx, and Six3/6 genes in the hoplonemertean Pantinonemertes californiensis offers insight into the evolution of maximally indirect development in the phylum NemerteaSerotonergic nervous system of P. californiensis larvae. Larval anterior is up on all panels. a Confocal z-projection of anti-serotonin antibody labeling in invagination-stage larva. Larva possesses seven serotonergic neurons, two of which appear to innervate the anterior invaginations. Neuron labels: ap apical neuron, san subapical neuron, aan additional apical neuron, cn caudal neuron. Asterisk indicates apical organ. aʹ Overlayed fluorescent and transmitted-light image. b Confocal z-projection of anti-serotonin antibody labeling of the early-rudiment-stage larva. b′ Overlayed fluorescent and transmitted-light image. c Confocal z-projection of anti-serotonin antibody labeling of late-rudiment-stage larva. c′ Overlaid fluorescent and transmitted-light image.
