Stocker and Gendre provide the antennal nerve afferent counts based on TEM micrographs (Stocker and Gendre, 1988). Gross projection patterns within the brain were elucidated by Holmes-Blest reduced silver impregnation (Stocker et al., 1990). That the antennal nerve is composed of some 1200 third antennal segments and 500-600 fibers stemming from the JON and mechanosensory sensilla is based on two lines of evidence: 24hours after amputation of the funiculus, degeneration is seen in all but 500-600 fibers entering the antennal mechanosensory and motor center (Stocker et al., 1990); and Kamikouchi et al., (2006) used enhancer trap labelling and immunolabelling of JONs to trace their projections.
