Fig. 1. Embryonic-born projection neurons exhibit characteristic connectivity in the adult olfactory system. (A-D) Many projection neurons innervating glomeruli in the adult AL are born during embryogenesis. (A) The GAL4-GH146 enhancer trap is expressed by ~90 PNs innervating approximately 40 of the ~50 glomeruli in the adult AL. (B) A lateral neuroblast clone labeled by early larval heatshock innervates 11 of these glomeruli. (C) An anterodorsal neuroblast clone labeled by early larval heatshock innervates a non-overlapping subset of 12 glomeruli. (D) An anterodorsal neuroblast clone labeled by early embryonic heatshock innervates at least 15 additional non-overlapping glomeruli. Asterisks indicate superficial glomeruli that are innervated by embryonic but not larval-born PNs. (E-L) Each embryonic-born PN generally innervates one glomerulus in adult AL (E1-L1) except VL2p+ (F1, see Table 1). Each glomerular class of PN exhibits a characteristic axon branching pattern in the MB calyx and LH (E2,E3-L2,L3 show two examples of each glomerular class). In this and subsequent figures, all brains were stained with anti-mCD8 (green, reporter for GAL4 or MARCM clones) and nc82 (magenta, marking neuropiles), and presented as flattened confocal stacks oriented with midline to the left and dorsal to the top unless otherwise noted. aD, anterodorsal; e HS, embryonic heatshock; GAL4-GH146, whole GH146 driver expression in AL; Lat, lateral; l HS, larval heatshock; Nb, neuroblast.
