... various intersection strategies. The targeted neuroblasts were efficiently recovered using a custom-built device for robotic single-cell picking. Transcriptome analysis of mushroom body, antennal lobe and type II neuroblasts compared with non-selective neuroblasts, neurons and glia revealed a rich...

...Sen-Lin Lai; Takeshi Awasaki; Kei Ito; Tzumin Lee The antennal lobe (AL) is the primary structure in the Drosophila brain that relays odor information from the antennae to higher brain centers. The characterization of uniglomerular projection neurons (PNs) and some local interneurons has...

... understood. In Drosophila , olfactory projection neurons (PNs)receive input by synapsing with olfactory receptor neurons in the antennal lobe and relay information to the mushroom body (MB) calyx and lateral horn. Here we show that embryonic-born PNs participate in both the larval and adult olfactory...

... a spatial map in the brain. We have previously shown that second order projection neurons (PNs) in Drosophila are prespecified by lineage and birth order to send their dendrites to one of ∼50 glomeruli in the antennal lobe. How can a given class of ORN axons match up with a given class of PN dendrites? Here...

... in the developing antennal lobe (AL). Our findings therefore identify a central signaling module that is used by ONs to project to their cognate glomeruli. All fly lines were obtained from the Drosophila stock center except for the following. 981-Gal4 and SG18.1-Gal4 ( Jhaveri et al., 2000 ) were kindly...
