The confocal reconstruction above reveals staining n the central complex. The small cell bodies dorsally provide projections into the [High] [Low]protocerebral bridge and from there into the ellipsoid body.

The ellipsoid body is uniformly provided with terminals of neurons originating from the the bridge. The pair of dense concentrations of processes beneath the ellipsoid body correspond to the dorsal division of the [High] [Low]noduli whose ventral part is less strongly stained.

At this high magnification one can also see large cell bodies in the pars intercerebralis. These provide a ring of processes in the roof of the medial protocerebrum. Their axons descend and terminate in a dorsal layer of the suboesophageal ganglion.

The suboesophageal ganglion also has extensive inputs and heterolateral interneurons.

The lobula plate also provides 4-8 faint heterolateral axons to the contralateral lobula plate.
