The NB 3-3 clone generates a MN in some abdominal segments, innervating muscle 5.

It also generates a large number of contralaterally-projecting intersegmental and local interneurons.

NB 3-3:

In 2/3 abdominal clones, we observe a MN that innervates muscle 5 via SNa. We also observe a large number of interneurons; many project contralaterally as intersegmental interneurons.

Four ways to view the same clones:

upper left panel is a confocal z-series of DiI labeled clone; sections are 1.5 microns.Movie begins at dorsal surface of clone.

upper right panel is a projection of z-series, rotated 45 degrees about y-axis. DiI alone.

lower left panel is a confocal z-series of DiI-labeled clone in en-GFP background.

lower right panel is a projection of the z-series, rotated 45 degrees about y-axis. DiI with en-GFP.

 

In all cases, anterior is up.
