Abstract excerpt
The Drosophila mushroom bodies (MBs), paired brain structures composed of vertical and medial lobes, achieve their final organization at metamorphosis. The alpha lobe absent (ala) mutant randomly lacks either the vertical lobes or two of the median lobes. We characterize the ala axonal phenotype at the single-cell level, and show that the ala mutation affects Drosophila ethanolamine (Etn) kinase activity and...
