Central projections of sensory neurons in the Drosophila embryo correlate with sensory modality, soma position, and proneural gene function.
The peripheral nervous system (PNS) of the Drosophila embryo is especially suited for investigating the specification of neuronal identity: the PNS consists of a relatively simple but diverse set of individually identified sensory neurons; mutants, including embryonic lethals, can be readily generated and analyzed; and axon growth can potentially be followed from the earliest stages. We have de...
متن کاملCentral projections of persistent larval sensory neurons prefigure adult sensory pathways in the CNS of Drosophila.
We have used a GAL4 enhancer-trap line driving the expression of a lacZ construct to examine the reorganisation of an identified group of proprioceptive sensory neurons during metamorphosis in Drosophila. The results show that whilst most larval sensory neurons degenerate during the first 24 hours of metamorphosis a segmentally repeated array of 6 neurons per segment persists into the adult sta...
متن کاملThe Gene Regulatory Cascade Linking Proneural Specification with Differentiation in Drosophila Sensory Neurons
In neurogenesis, neural cell fate specification is generally triggered by proneural transcription factors. Whilst the role of proneural factors in fate specification is well studied, the link between neural specification and the cellular pathways that ultimately must be activated to construct specialised neurons is usually obscure. High-resolution temporal profiling of gene expression reveals t...
متن کاملCentral projections of identified Drosophila sensory neurons in relation to their time of development.
Eight sensory structures (campaniform sensilla), appearing identical in the light and scanning electron microscopes, are found in specific locations on the wings of Drosophila. Their axons enter one of 2 central tracts, a medial one or a lateral one. The topographic arrangement of the sensilla on the wing is not reflected in this central projection pattern. There is, however, a strict correlati...
متن کاملDifferentiation and central projections of peripheral sensory cells with action-potential block in Drosophila mosaics.
The ultrastructural differentiation and central projection of identified bristle mechanosensory neurons were examined in Drosophila mutants lacking action potentials. Two mutations, parats1 and napts, are known to block axonal conduction in centrally located neurons at high temperatures. Their effects on epithelial sensory cells, which are derived from imaginal disks during pupation, have not b...
