Figure 1

Morphology of dendritic arborization neurons during dendrite development. EB1-GFP was expressed in stage 2+ neurons with elav-Gal4 and representative images from different stages during dendrite outgrowth are shown. 1407-Gal4 was used to express EB1-GFP in stage 1 neurons. These stages are used for reference throughout the study. ‘Young larva’ refers to an animal collected within 2 h of hatching. Stage 1 refers to neurons with linear dendrites extending from the cell body; at stage 2 branches are seen to initiate; at stage 3 branches are longer, and secondary branches initiate; at stage 4 more secondary branches are visible. Stage 5 neurons have complex branched dendrites.
