Glomerular organization of the malleolar neuropil, overview. a Galeodes arabs subesophageal synganglion in ventral view. Microscopic image of a malleolus backfill preparation (right) with corresponding schematic drawing (left). In this backfill, some Ni++-ions have seeped into all neuropils of the prosomal synganglion, providing an overview of ganglion anatomy. Nerve roots of pedipalp and first to fourth walking legs are labelled. The malleolar neuropils are located anteriorly close to the synganglion midline. b Detail from the preparation in A, taken from the other ganglion half. Drawing on the right outlines the 11–13 glomeruli that are identified when focusing through the depth of the preparation; glomeruli 5 and 11 may represent two separate glomeruli. Numbering is according to the appearance in transversal section series (Fig. 6b). Afferent axon supply from posterior is indicated. For all images, anterior is to the top and lateral to the right
