Figure 8

Gross morphological defects in the mushroom bodies in mutations of candidate genes affecting aggressive behavior. A-H: anti-fasciclin 2 staining of adult brains using the 1D4 monoclonal antibody. Defects are indicated by the white arrows. (A) Canton S B control line. α, alpha lobes of mushroom bodies; β, beta lobes of mushroom bodies. (B) Missing beta lobe in CG32572 mutation. (C) Misrouting of some of the alpha lobe axons leads to thicker beta lobes and thinner alpha lobes in ed mutation. (D) Shorter alpha lobe in emc mutation. (E) Overextension resulting in fusion of the beta lobes in sgl mutation. (F) Alpha lobe tip defect resulting in enlargement of the tip in CG13377 mutation.
