Individudal ‘MF’ neurons (monoaminergic AmFoxP neurons) that co-express AmFoxP and AmVMAT. a–d dISH stainings showing AmFoxP transcript (magenta), AmVMAT (cyan) and nuclei (blue) in honeybee brain cryosections, anterior (a) to posterior (d). Insets outlined by white boxes show co-localization of the two probes. Locations in the brain where photomicrographs were taken are outlined (black line) in the schematic drawing in the insets at the top of each panel. a ‘MF1’ neurons dorsolateral to the antennal lobe (AL) of a 15 days old individual from the ‘encaged honeycomb’ group. b ‘MF2’ neuron medial to the medulla (ME). c ‘MF3’ neurons dorso-medial to the lobula (LO). d ‘MF4’ neurons close to the fan-shaped body (FB) of the central complex (CX). b–d Cryosections of a 15 days old individual from the ‘control’ group. For explanations of pictograms see Table 1, for anatomical abbreviations see Table 5. Scale bars: 100 µm
