Establishment of neuronal connectivity during development of the Drosophila larval visual system.

Abstract excerpt

We used confocal microscopy in conjunction with specific antibodies and enhancer trap strains to investigate the development of specific neuronal connections in a simple model system, the larval visual system of Drosophila. We find that the establishment of axonal projections from the larval photoreceptor neurons to their central nervous system targets involves a series of discrete steps. During embryogenesis,...
