Innervation of the central complex from apoptosis-blocked dorsomedial (DM) lineages. Confocal sections show the neuropile (white, labeled with nc82) and neuronal innervation of the central complex from apoptosis-blocked DM lineages (green, labeled with mCD8::GFP) in adult brains at the level of (A-D) the ellipsoid body, (E-H) the fan-shaped body, (I-L) the noduli, and (M-P) the protocerebral bridge of the central complex. (A, B, E, F, I, J, M, N) Overview of the neuropile and the central complex innervation from apoptosis-blocked DM lineages. (C, D, G, H, K, L, O, P) Close-up view of the central complex neuropile and the neuronal innervation from DM lineages. Arrows and arrowheads indicate misinnervation by labeled neuronal projections and misarrangement of neuropile in the central complex (see text for details). Scale bars = 20 μm. Genotype: UAS-flp; UAS-p35; erm-Gal4R09D11 act>CD2>Gal4 UAS-mCD8::GFP.
