Figures & Tables

Fig. 1

The pattern of 5-HT-IR neurons and fibres in head region of I pseudospiralis. a – Three pairs of neurons (large and small arrows) with nerve fibres extending in anterior and posterior direction. Note 5-HT-IR in the tip of the head (small arrow). Bar = 30 μm. Inset. Magnification of the tip of the head with 5-HT-IR structures (arrows); b-Bar= 10 μm; c- Magnification of the three pairs of neurons (large and small arrows). Bar =25 μm; d- The pattern of 5-HT nerve cords (arrows). Bar = 20 μm; e – Magnification of the longitudinal nerve cord connected by transverse commissures (arrow). Bar =10 μm
