Synaptic retractions are seen in Nrgl4 mutant third instar larval motorneuron clones at low frequency. Approximately 50% of axons end in "bulb-like" structures within nerve bundles and are not connected to a postsynaptic muscle. Large axonal swellings are also seen in the same axon proximal toward the cell body of the motoneuron. Similar rates of innervation are seen for all four major classes of motorneurons (SNc/d, SNb, SNa and ISN) as controls.
Flies expressing Nrg+t25 in a Nrgl4 mutant background establish a normal function of the adult Giant Fibre (GF)-Trochanteral Muscle (TTMn) circuit. There are no significant differences in average response latencies or following frequencies after a train of stimulations at 100 Hz when compared to wild type. No obvious morphological defects are seen at GF terminals.
Expression of Nrg167ΔFIGQY in a Nrgl4 mutant background does not result in a significant increase in synaptic retraction in third instar larvae compared to controls. NMJ length is similar to controls, as are bouton number and area.

Flies expressing Nrg180ΔFIGQY in a Nrgl4 mutant background are unable to establish a normal function of the Giant Fibre (GF)-Trochanteral Muscle (TTMn) circuit; there are significant increases in average response latencies and a decrease in following frequencies after a train of stimulations at 100Hz when compared to wild type. Morphological defects are seen at GF terminals. The GFs are present at the synaptic target area, however large areas of the synaptic terminals are either thinner or swollen and often contain large vacuole-like structures.

The synaptic Giant Fibre (GF) to Trochanteral Muscle (TTMn) connection is severely weakened in flies expressing Nrg180ΔFIGQY in a Nrgl4 mutant background. The GF synapse is unable to follow multiple stimuli given at 100 Hz in a 1:1 ratio and Response Latency is increased. Synaptic terminals are morphologically defective and reduced in size.
Dextran dye can penetrate in the nerve cord after it has been injected into 22 hour mutant embryos, indicating a defect in the integrity of the nerve cord paracellular barrier.
In Nrgl4 homozygotes lateral pentascolopidial chordotonal organs have a disorganised morphology and rounded, rather than fusiform scolopales. Unlike in wild-type embryos, lateral pentascolopidial chordotonal organs in these embryos fail to exclude a 10kDa dextran dye. Ultrastructural analyses of peripheral nerves in these mutants at late stages of embryogenesis show that, while glial membranes are present around these nerves, the associated septate junctions linking inner and outer glial sheath cells are missing. and the inner and outer glial membranes are abnormally far apart. In addition, axons are often missing from bundles and replaced by protrusions from the inner glial cells.
Fluorescent dye injected into the body cavity of Nrgl4 embryos penetrates into the nerve cord after the stage at which the nerve cord is sealed in wild-type embryos, showing that formation of the blood-brain barrier if defective. The surface glial cell shape and cortical actin distribution is only mildly disrupted.
In the epidermis of about 80% of stage 15 Nrgl4 mutant embryos, occasional clusters of septa are formed, often basal in their position.
Nrgl4 mutants exhibit disruption of the paracellular barrier in the embryonic salivary gland. In Nrgl4 homozygous mutants the adherens junction remains intact, with the regular spacing of plasma membranes maintained. However, the septae normally located between these membranes are reduced in number or absent. Nrgl4/Nrgl4 somatic clones generated in larvae (approx. 72 hours after egg laying) do not survive in adult tissues.
Fas2 expressing axons appear normal in homozygous embryos.
Homozygous embryos show a general disorganisation of the peripheral nervous system cell bodies. The aCC and SNb motoneurons often show a stalled phenotype, failing to extend normally, and SNb motoneurons sometimes show abnormal contacts with their targets.

Nrgl4 dominantly enhances the shortening of dendritic length and the reduction in the number of dendritic endpoints of dorsal dendritic arborisation neurons which is seen in larvae expressing NakdsRNA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155.
The addition of Nrgl4/+ significantly suppresses the loss of cone cell phenotype seen in edScer\UAS.cBa, Scer\GAL4GMR.PF animals but has no effect on photoreceptor loss.
Nrgl4 Nrt5 double mutant embryos have a severe CNS phenotype, with thinning or complete interruption of the longitudinal connectives, and fusion of the commissures. Defects in Fas2 expressing neurons similar to those seen in Nrt5 single mutants are seen, although with much higher expressivity and penetrance. Axons of the dMP2 and MP1 neurons either stall or delay their extension considerably in 29% of cases. The ventral unpaired medial (VUM) neurons show misguidance phenotypes in 15% of cases, and anomalies in the trajectory of the SP1 axon are observed rarely. The pCC and vMP2 axons grow normally in most hemisegments, and the aCC and U neurons are normal. These defects are rescued by NrtScer\UAS.cSa expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4Mz1277. NrtrP668 Nrgl4 double mutant embryos have defects in Fas2 expressing axons. NrtR20F Nrgl4 embryos have essentially normal Fas2 expressing axons.
