These movies are of a stage 16 NB 6-1 clone.

Intersegmental interneurons have not yet extended their axons across segmental boundaries.

We chose this movie because it compares NB 5-2 and NB 6-1. Both clones eventually form large numbers of intersegmental interneurons, but those axons do not extend from NB 6-1 until a much later timepoint than do the intersegmental interneurons derived from NB 5-2.

Four ways to view the same clones

 

Stage 16 NB 6-1 Clone anteriorly, with a stage 16 NB 5-2 clone, two segments posterior to it:

upper left panel is a confocal z-series of DiI labeled clone; sections are 1.5 microns.

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.
