Species: Stenostomum leucops (Duges, 1828)    Turbellaria

Preparation Type: whole mount

Prepared: O.I. Raikova

Description: FMRFamid immunoreactivity in the nervous system and musculature of Stenostomum leucops (Plathelminthes, Catenulida).

Method: F-actin in muscle fibers (Phalloidin), FMRFamide

Method Description: Reuter M., Raikova O.I., Gustafsson M.K.S. 2001. Patterns in the nervous and muscle systems in lower flatworms. Belgian Journal of Zoology, 31 (supplement 1): 47-53.

Institution: Zoological Institute RAS

Description: Confocal scanning laser images of phalloidin stained (in red) specimen with FMRFamide (green) immunoreactive labeling. FMRF-IR is visible in the brain neuropile (n) and in the sensory cells of the sensory pit (short arrow). Phalloidin stains thick longitudinal muscles and thin transverse muscles (long arrow) between the frontal lobes of the brain.

Organs: сentral nervous system, cerebral brain or its part, neuron(s), receptor cell(s), musculature innervation / musculature, Sensory organ

Methods: Immunohistochemistry - FMRFamide,
Histochemistry - F-actin in muscle fibers (Phalloidin)
