Simplified diagram illustrating major commissures, tracts, lobes and neuropils in the brain of E. rowelli. Characterised neuropils are depicted in colour; other brain neuropils are indicated in dark grey, cell body rind in light grey. Subregions of largely fused other brain neuropils, including deutocerebral neuropil, not shown. Arrowheads point to microglomeruli. ANC, antennal nerve cord; ANP, antennal neuropil; BRC 1, BRC 2, BRC 3, brain commissures 1 to 3; CBA, anterior division of central body; CB-AN, auxiliary neuropil; CB-IL, inner lamina of central body; CB-OL, outer lamina of central body; CBP, posterior division of central body; CBR, cell body rind; CNC, circumpharyngeal nerve cord; δ, dorsal or δ-lobe of mushroom body; DE, deutocerebrum; DN, deutocerebral neuropil; E-ONP, extracerebral part of optic neuropil; EY, eye; FB, frontal body; FGC, Fascicles of globuli cells; I-ONP, intracerebral part of optic neuropil; JAN, jaw nerve; λ, lateral or λ-lobe of mushroom body; LIN 2, LIN 3, lip nerves 2 and 3; μ, median or μ-lobe of mushroom body; OLF, olfactory fascicle; OLG, olfactory glomeruli; ONP, optic neuropil; PDN, posterior dorsal neuropil; PED, pedunculus; PHN 1, pharyngeal nerves 1; PNT, ponticulus; PVN, posterior ventral neuropil; SAN, subantennal neuropil; SGN, salivary gland nerve; SPC, subpharyngeal commissure; SPN, slime papilla nerves; v, ventral or v-lobe of mushroom body; VC, ventral commissure; VNC, ventral nerve cord
