Schematic drawing of acetylated α-tubulin-LIR, FMRF-amide-LIR and serotonin-LIR nervous system of Diuronotus aspetos, showing the correspondences between the different nervous systems. Anterior pointing at the top. Acetylated α-tubulin-LIR nervous system in blue, FMRF-amide-LIR nervous in magenta, and serotonin-LIR nervous system in green. Cell nuclei in grey and opposite nervous system in light grey.
