Expression of Aen-Gsx during postmetamorphic development (114 hpf) of the scaphopod Antalis entalis. Anterior (a)–posterior (p), dorsal (d)–ventral (v), and left (l)–right (r) axes indicate the orientation. The statocysts are labeled with asterisks. a, b Aen-Gsx expression in the region of the cerebral (cg) and pedal ganglia (pg) as well as the ventral foot (f) and the ventral region of the nascent captacula (arrowheads). c Inverted bright-field image of Aen-Gsx expression (green) with nuclear counterstain (blue, Dapi) of a cryosection (see inset for original stain). Aen-Gsx is expressed in the cerebral and pedal ganglia as well as the foot. Faint staining is also visible in the region of the nascent captacula. pv pavilion. Scale bars 50 µm
