Fig. 1. Brain atlas and mosaic analysis. (A) Schematic of the
olfactory circuitry (left hemisphere) and brain structures (right hemisphere)
in the adult Drosophila. The olfactory circuitry is exemplified by
representative olfactory receptor neurons (green), antennal lobe neurons,
which include projection neurons (blue) and interneurons (purple), and
mushroom body neurons (orange). Various brain structures are outlined by solid
or broken lines and are superimposed with different colors. The naming of
brain structures follows Otsuna and Ito
(Otsuna and Ito, 2006).
Abbreviations: adPN, anterodorsal projection neuron; AN, antennal nerve; AL,
antennal lobe; lPN, lateral projection neuron; LN, local interneuron; de,
deutocerebrum other than the AL; GC, great commissure; LH, lateral horn; MB,
mushroom body; MBN, mushroom body neuron; ORN, olfactory receptor neuron;
pilpr, posterior inferior lateral protocerebrum; pimpr, posterior inferior
medial protocerebrum; SOG, sub-esophageal ganglion; vlpr, ventrolateral
protocerebrum. (B) The genetic basis of MARCM (top) and
dual-expression-control MARCM (bottom). Mitotic recombination mediated by
flipase (FLP) in the heterozygous mother cell leads to the loss of GAL80 in
one of the two homozygous daughter cells. All GAL80-negative progenies are
labeled by tubP-LG-driven lexop-rCD2::GFP (green outlined
oval), and only GAL80-negative GAL4-positive cells are dually labeled by
GAL4-controlled UAS-mCD8 (pink oval). (C) Clone size in
dual-expression-control MARCM. The induction of multicellular Nb clone (green
outlined circles in the upper panel) or single-cell clone (green outlined
circle in the lower panel) depends on the occurrence of FLP-mediated mitotic
recombination in the self-renewing progenitor or ganglion mother cell. Within
the clone, only GAL4-positive cells can be labeled by GAL4 and LexA::GAD
simultaneously (green outlined pink circles). Abbreviations: Nb, neuroblast;
GMC, ganglion mother cell; N, neuron.
