Pruning of motor neuron branches establishes the DLM innervation pattern in Drosophila.

Journal of neurobiology - 15 Sept 2004

Hebbar Sarita, Fernandes Joyce J

Abstract excerpt

During the Drosophila life-cycle two sets of neuromuscular junctions are generated: the embryonic/larval NMJs develop during the first half, followed by the period of metamorphosis during which the adult counterpart is generated. Development of the adult innervation pattern is preceded by a withdrawal of larval NMJs, which occurs at the onset of metamorphosis, and is followed by adult-specific motor neuron...
