Mutant larvae do not have defects in the establishment or maintenance of dendritic tiling in class IV dendrite arborisation (da) neurons.
Longitudinal glial cells of the central nervous system remain in segmental clusters separated by gaps in homozygous embryos, and remain in a more lateral position than in wild-type. Pioneer neurons (aCC, pCC, vMP2, MP1 and dMP2) develop at abnormal positions and project their axons abnormally; the MP neurons project their axons peripherally instead of longitudinally, and the pCC and aCC neurons project their axons straight laterally instead of longitudinally.

Precise excision of the P{PZ} element reverts the mutant phenotype to wild-type, indicating that the P{PZ} element is responsible for the mutant phenotype.
