Organization of the proximal zone of the cerebral ganglion of Amathia gracilis. a Transverse semithin section of the proximal zone of the cerebral ganglion. The anal side is toward the top, and the oral side is toward the bottom. b The lophophore base: confocal sections (LCM). Z-stack projection of several slides adjacent to the anus after double staining for tyrosinated α-tubulin (green) and DAPI (magenta). c LCM: Z-projection of two most distal perikarya. Abbreviations: ci - cilia of tentacles; pl - pylorus; ppk - proximal perikarya; tsn - tentacle sheath nerve; ve - vestibulum
