Abstract excerpt

The influence of mutations in seven neurological genes on the number of fibers in the anterior optic tract (AOT) of Drosophila melanogaster has been investigated. It is shown that the number of fibers in the AOT can be drastically reduced in single and especially in multiple mutants. However, no...
