Abstract
Neurogenesis occurs in adults of most organisms, both vertebrates and invertebrates. In semiterrestrial crabs of the infraorder Brachyura, the deutocerebrum, where neurogenesis occurs, processes the olfactory sensory information from the antennae. The deutocerebrum is composed of a pair of olfactory lobes associated with cell clusters 9 and 10 (Cl 9 and Cl 10), containing proliferating cells. Because the location of the neurogenic niche in brachyuran semiterrestrial crabs has not been defined, here we describe a neurogenic niche in the central olfactory system of the crab Ucides cordatus and report two types of glial cells in the deutocerebrum, based on different markers. Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) labeling was used to reveal neuroanatomical aspects of the central olfactory system and the neurogenic niche. The results showed a zone of proliferating neural cells within Cl 10, which also contains III beta-tubulin (Tuj1)+ immature neurons, associated with a structure that has characteristics of the neurogenic niche. For the first time, using two glial markers, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and glutamine synthetase (GS), we identified two types of astrocyte-like cells in different regions of the deutocerebrum. This study adds to the understanding of neurogenesis in a brachyuran semiterrestrial crustacean and encourages comparative studies between crustaceans and vertebrates, including mammals, based on shared aspects of both mechanisms of neurogenesis and regenerative potentials.

Abstract
Although there is a considerable demand for cell culture protocols from invertebrates for both basic and applied research, few attempts have been made to culture neural cells of crustaceans. We describe an in vitro method that permits the proliferation, growth and characterization of neural cells from the visual system of an adult decapod crustacean. We explain the coating of the culture plates with different adhesive substrates, and the adaptation of the medium to maintain viable neural cells for up to 7 days. Scanning electron microscopy allowed us to monitor the conditioned culture medium to assess cell morphology and cell damage. We quantified cells in the different substrates and performed statistical analyses. Of the most commonly used substrates, poly-L-ornithine was found to be the best for maintaining neural cells for 7 days. We characterized glial cells and neurons, and observed cell proliferation using immunocytochemical reactions with specific markers. This protocol was designed to aid in conducting investigations of adult crustacean neural cells in culture. We believe that an advantage of this method is the potential for adaptation to neural cells from other arthropods and even other groups of invertebrates.

Abstract
Current concepts of invertebrate phylogeny are reviewed. Annelida and Arthropoda, previously regarded as closely related, are now placed in separate clades. Myelin, a sheath of multiple layers of membranes around nerve axons, is found in members of the Annelida, Arthropoda and Chordata. The structure, composition and function of the sheaths in Annelida and Arthropoda are examined and evidence for the separate evolutionary origins of myelin in the three clades is presented. That myelin has arisen independently at least three times, namely in Annelids, Arthropodas and Chordates, provides a remarkable example of convergent evolution.

Abstract
We previously characterized some crustacean glial cells by markers such as 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase and glial fibrillary acidic protein. Here we use antibodies against glutamine synthetase full-length molecule (anti-GS/FL), a GS C-terminal peptide (anti-GS/20aa-C), and brain S100 (anti-S100), as well as the binding of the insect glia and rat astrocytic marker Datura stramonium lectin (DSL), in the optic lobe of the prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii. All markers label the lamina ganglionaris cartridge region (lighter: anti-GS/FL; heavier: DSL). In addition, anti-GS/FL labels superficial somata of external and internal medullas and internal chiasm cells. Both anti-GS/20aa-C and anti-S100 label heavily the glial sheaths of the lamina ganglionaris. In addition, anti-S100 binds to the perineurial glia of medullary parenchymal vessels. Western blot analyses show that both anti-GS/FL and anti-GS/20aa-C bind mostly to a band of 50-55 kDa, compatible with a long isoform of vertebrate GS, and accessorily to a possible dimer and, in the case of anti-GS/20aa-C, to an ill-defined band of intermediate mass. Binding of anti-S100 is selective for a single band of about 68 kDa but shows no protein in the weight range of the canonical S100 protein superfamily. DSL reveals two bands of about 75 and about 120 kDa, thus within the range of maximal recognition for rat astrocytes. Our results suggest that phenotype protein markers of the optic lobe glia share antigenic determinants with S100 and (a long form of) GS and that, similarly to vertebrate and insect glia, crustacean glia protein and N-glycan residue markers display regional heterogeneity.

Abstract
Neurofilaments (NFs) have not been observed in crustaceans using conventional electron microscopy, and intermediate filaments have never been described in crustaceans and other arthropods by immunocytochemistry. Since polypeptides, labeled by the NN18-clone antibody, were revealed on microtubule side-arms of crayfish, we have tested, in this study, whether proteins similar to mammalian NFs are present in the protocerebral tract (PCT) of the crab Ucides cordatus. We used immunohistochemistry for light microscopy with monoclonal antibodies against three different NF subunits, high (NF-H), medium (NF-M), and light (NF-L). Labeling was observed with the NN18-clone, which recognizes NF-M. In order to confirm the results obtained with the immunohistochemical reactions, Western blotting, using the three primary antibodies, was performed and the presence of NF-M was confirmed. The NN18-clone monoclonal antibody recognized a protein of approximately 160 kDa, similar to the mammalian NF-M protein, but NF-L and NF-H were not recognized. Conventional transmission electron microscopy was used to observe the ultrastructural components of the axons and immunoelectron microscopy was used to show the distribution of the NF-M-like polypeptides along cytoskeletal elements of the PCT. Our results agree with previous studies on crustacean NF proteins that have reported negative immunoreactions against NF-H and NF-L subunits and positive immunoreactions against the mammalian NF-M subunit. However, the protein previously referred to as P600 and recognized by the NN18-clone, has a very high molecular weight, thus, being different from mammalian NF-M subunit and from the protein revealed now in our study.
