Adult Nervous system Neuron projection bundle

Adult tract connecting the brain to the ventral nerve cord (Ito et al., 2014; Court et al., 2020. It emerges from the posterior gnathal ganglion (Ito et al., 2014; Court et al., 2020 and consists of 4 bundles of neurites in two bilateral pairs (one dorsal pair, one ventral pair) (Power, 1948. It contains around 3700 axons (Phelps et al., 2021. (Ito et al., 2014, Power, 1948, Court et al., 2020, Phelps et al., 2021, Hartenstein, 1993)
