Distribution of 5HT-ir neurons in the VNC of Lithobius forficatus. All neurons were detected in every ganglion of all preparations. a These individually identifiable neurons are distinguished according to somata positions within the ganglia into anterior (AC), lateral (LC), medial (MC), and posterior cells (PC). b The AC projected their neurites contralaterally (arrows). c The LC project their neurites slightly posteriorly and medially towards the midline, and turn anteriorly again before the microscopic signal got lost (arrows). d Neurites of the medial cells could only be traced for a short distance (arrows), projecting laterad. e The pair of PCs project their processes contralaterally (arrows). f Reconstructions of ACs. g Reconstructions of PCs. Compare also Fig. 6. Scale bars: A = 100 μm; B–E, G = 50 μm; G = 25 μm
