Edema of the neuropile was observed in the ischemic zone, furthermore there were no neurons with normal morphology in the deep-ischemic zone.

With this tracer it was also possible to label the axonal processes projecting from the cerebral commissure toward the metacerebrum neuropile. This labelled metacerebrum neuronal cluster extends from the ganglionic dorsal surface toward the cerebral commissure (medial) level (about 500 [micro]m in length) and seems to be bilaterally symmetric.

The POVL contains neurons that differentiate as late as early juvenile rudiment formation, and project axons to the pre-oral neuropile. These neurons were initially discovered by Bishop and Brandhorst (2007) because they express nitric oxide synthase (NOS), an enzyme that produces NO, previously shown to regulate the timing of metamorphosis in L.
