The mushroom bodies (MBs) in the adult Drosophila brain Rein et al., 2002 Current Biology from Martin Heisenberg modified from Armstong et al., Learning & Memory 1998 A wild-type neuron lobe 10mm vertical branch lobe Srausfeld et al., MRT 2003 horizontal branch 10mm 10mm midline Developmental Genetics of mushroom bodies (MB) • MB are involved in olfactory learning. • MB are relatively well described structure in the adult central brain. • 4 neuroblasts in each hemisphere form one MB. • Flies without MB are viable and fertile. • Good markers of MB (Gal4 lines, antibodies) • Clonal analysis (positive labelling : Gal 80) Development of the Drosophila mushroom bodies: sequential generation of three distinct types of neurons from a neuroblast Lee et al., Development 1999 MARCM Mosaic analysis with a repressible cell marker for studies of gene function in neuronal morphogenesis Lee and Luo Neuron 1999 Neuroblasts in the head and trunk Noveen et al., Development 2000 Noveen et al., Development 2000 The MB primordia in the embryonic brain (frontal view) KCs, Kenyon cells (MB cells) Development of the MBs.

This clone was generated by inducing mitotic recombination in newly hatched larva Three models of the projection of the MB neuroblast progeny (A) One neuroblast progeny project to a specific region, e.g. the lobe( black cells) (B) A MB neuroblast clone contributes to the entire cellular repertoire of the MB (C) The progeny of the MB neuroblast are not confined to the MB. Some neurons project to other region of the brain. Summary of the structural organisation of the MB (A) Each MB neuroblast generates a clonal unit that contains all the types of cells (B) The intact MB is a fourthfold structure of these clonal units Two mutually exclusive types of marked clones. Either all postmitotic neurons generated subsequently in the same lineage will be labeled (upper), or only two neurons derived from the GMC will be labeled in the whole lineage (lower).
