Organisation and characterisation of brain neuropils in E. rowelli. Horizontal optical sections of confocal micrographs of brains immunolabelled for acetylated α-tubulin. Anterior is up in all images. Coloured brain areas of largely fused neuropils and lobes (right) from dorsal (a) to ventral (d) series of sections. ANC, antennal nerve cord; ANP, antennal neuropil; BRC 1 and 2, brain commissure 1 and 2; CB, central body; CBR, cell body rind; CN, central neuropil; CNC, circumpharyngeal nerve cord; DN, deutocerebral neuropil; FB, frontal body; FGC, fascicles of globuli cells; ML, median lobe; OLG, olfactory glomeruli; OLL, olfactory lobe; PHN 1, pharyngeal nerves 1; PDN, posterior dorsal neuropil; PVN, posterior ventral neuropil; SAN, subantennal neuropil; VH, ventral horn. Scale bars: 100 μm
