Figure 6

Fluorescence micrograph of glyoxylic acid treated tissues. Blue fluorescing cells are indicated with arrowheads. a: The left parietal (LPr) and visceral (V) ganglia. A single blue-green fluorescing neuron is visible in the visceral ganglion. Blue fluorescing fibers are visible in the intestinal (in) and left parietal (lprn) nerves, viscero-parietal and pleuroparietal connectives. b: the pedal ganglia. The LPeD1 is clearly visible in the left pedal ganglion. Groups of small dopaminergic neurons are located on the periphery. Blue fluorescing fibers are visible in the pedal nerves (pn) and cerebro-pedal connectives (cpc). c: the cerebral ganglia. Cerebral commissure (cc), cpc, median lip (mm), frontolateral (fn) and tentacular (tn) nerves contain blue fluorescing fibers. The structures shown are Pd-pedal ganglia (L-left, R-right), Pl-pleural ganglia (L-left, R-right), Pr-parietal ganglia (L-left, R-right). Scale bar = 100 μm.
