Serotonin- and GYIRFamid immunoreactivity in the nervous system of Nemertoderma westbladi (Xenacoelomorpha, Nemertodermatida).

Preparation

ZIN-OIR-XAC-0-1

Description: Confocal scanning laser microscope image of double-stained specimens. GYIRFamide pattern is shown in red; 5-HT pattern is shown in green. Ventral side, optical sections taken from the level of the ventral epidermis to the level of the bilithophorous statocyst, including the latter. Note the extensive development of GYIRFamide-IR fibres on the ventral side and the presence of large neurons associated with the ventral part of the ring.

Organs: сentral nervous system, nerve cord, nerve plexus, commissure, nerve, neuron(s)

Methods: Immunohistochemistry - serotonin,
Immunohistochemistry - FMRFamide
