Drosophila Dscam is required for divergent segregation of sister branches and suppresses ectopic bifurcation of axons.

TL;DR: Dscam controls axon branching and guidance such that a neuron can innervate multiple targets with minimal branching, and when only one target remains, branching is suppressed in wild-type axons while Dscam mutant axons still form multiple branches at the original bifurcation point.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transmembrane/juxtamembrane domain-dependent Dscam distribution and function during mushroom body neuronal morphogenesis.

TL;DR: The results suggest that exon 17.1 is minimally involved in axonal morphogenesis and that morphogenesis of MB axons probably involves multiple distinct ex on 17.2-containing Dscam isoforms.

Simultaneous imaging and spectroscopy apparatus

TL;DR: In this paper, an apparatus incorporated within a spectroscopic imaging system, typically a microscope, but also applicable to other image gathering platforms, namely fiberscopes, macrolens imaging systems and telescopes employing a polarizing beam splitting element is disclosed.
