  1. Mean larval numbers as well as recovery rates in [%] for examined eyes, spinal cord and brain (brain recovery rates are pictured in Figures 2 and 3). Brain larval numbers are divided into total brain as well as cerebrum and cerebellum (LH = left hemisphere; RH = right hemisphere; T = total organ). Total numbers may slightly differ as calculations are based on individual mean numbers and therefore, slight discrepancies occasionally occur when totaling values of different brain parts.
