The collection contains temporary preparations of various stages of larval and juvenile development of nudibranch molluscs. The images were taken by confocal laser scanning microscopy. The preparations were immunostained for nervous elements containing serotonin, neurotensin, FMRFamide, substance P, GABA, and acetylcholintransferase and stained histochemically for nervous elements containing catecholamines, NADPH-diaphorase and by phalloidin for muscles. The collection shows the development of the nervous and muscle systems in gastropod ontogeny using nudibranch molluscs as a case study. The collection is constantly updated. The images are kept on the server of the Zoological Institute RAS (Laboratory of Evolutionary Morphology) and is available from the authors. |
Anterior body region of a juvenile nudibranch Cadlina laevis showing ganglia of the central nervous system (bright white) and the nerves that extend from the ganglia and innervate the sole of the foot. Glyoxylic acid fluorescence method (GIF) for the histochemical localization of catecholamines.
