Figures & data

Figure 1. Comparison between the neuron shape for transmedulla cell Tm2 reported from Golgi impregnation (Fischbach & Dittrich, 1989), and its counterpart from a genetic reporter, Tm2- Gal4;UAS-GFP (right), showing the twin descending “walking” legs, reproduced from Meinertzhagen et al. (2009) in the Journal of Neurogenetics.
