4c) and followed the cells descending from the host NOPQl. e. Dst- and Pxm-cells) in a normal fashion. When Pxm-cells derived from the host NOPQl were followed, nearly all of the Pxm-cells (9/11 cases) that generated cell bandlets successfully were found with single bandlets (see Fig. 5a); in no cases did these cells gave rise to three bandlets. This suggests that these Pxm-cells assume the N fate. Given that the Pxm-cells in intact embryos assume the OPQ fate (see Fig. 3), it is apparent that the fate of NOPQ-derived cells depends on their distance from the site of contact between NOPQ cells rather than their position along the embryonic axis.

In conclusion, this study demonstrates not only the presence of GABA as an inhibitory transmitter in certain neural structures of L. hoffmeisteri, but also it presented detailed three-dimensional organization of all labelled neurons and neural processes in the whole CNS and in some parts of PNS. Our results show that GABA acts as a common neurotransmitter in certain sensory and motor neurons and interneurons. Furthermore, the basic pattern of labelled structures is the same in the tubificid worm, L.
