aboral organ
Jager et all 2011 showed beautiful staining with tubulin and "neuropeptide" antibodies around AO in Pleurobrachia (if that counts as classical staining :-))

sensory input
In our dataset there are several occasions where balancer cells are in direct contact with bridge cells? Could they be connected/signaling through gap junctions?
FYI, we also do NOT see triad synapses from balancers to nerve net or other cells!
-
The presence of two SNN-type neurons more laterally in the aboral organ in our dataset (Figure 2–figure supplement1) further underline the distinct identity of ANNs.
Do you think its possible that the ANN connects to the pharyngeal SNN which lines along the pharynx and goes down to the mouth? You would then have a connection to the mouth and feeding!?
Does the EM dataset you are having allowing you to look further down the animal?

distinct from the syncytial subepithelial nerve net (SNN) neurons with blebbed morphology previously identified by vEM in the body wall of Mnemiopsis
Do these neurons contain DCV as seen in the SNN? This info could be added here. We do see in our 1Day old data sets that all neurons have DCV throughout their cell bodies and neurites.

we also traced cilia along their length and annotated all basal bodies
Where is this shown?
