Abstract excerpt
In wild-type Drosophila embryos, five lateral chordotonal (lch) axons in each abdominal hemisegment originate from a midlaterally positioned cluster of neurons and grow, fasciculate, and orient ventrally as they connect with targets in the CNS. We have identified 22 recessive lethal mutations in 12 complementation groups, 8 of which are novel, that differentially affect lch axon growth, fasciculation, or ventral...
