Frequently more than one projection neuron (PN) was stained with neurobiotin due to multiple contacts. In addition, some attempts failed,whereas other stainings where incomplete. Therefore the rate of `successful'stainings, i.e. a single complete PN stain, was rather low. Similarly activity-dependent staining from the antennae had a low success rate (14%). In cases where more than one ORN was stained, these invariably arborized each in a single macroglomerular complex glomerulus. Z11, Z11-14:OAc; E11,E11-14:OAc
