sws1 adults show a progressive decrease in locomotion in fast phototaxis assays, and barely move by day 14, when they exhibit severe vacuolization of the deutocerebral neuropil.
sws1/sws1 1 day old adults show glial hyper-wrapping and incomplete glial wrapping of neuronal cell bodies and stunted glial processes in the medulla cortex.
sws1/sws1 flies (two days old) have a significantly reduced performance in a phototaxis assay (measuring percentage transitions towards light) compared to controls; this phenotype is progressive, with performance in 14 day old flies worse than in 2 day old flies.
sws1 mutant brains exhibit progressive neurodegeneration, with a significant increase in vacuole formation at 7, 14, and 21 days old, but not at 1 day old, as compared to wild type.
sws1 flies shortly before eclosion have normal eyes with all photoreceptors present. Whereas 14-day-old flies still have mostly intact ommatidia (occasionally one photoreceptor is lost), at 23 days the photoreceptors are either lost or show degenerative signs such as condensed cell bodies, intracellular membranous bodies or vacuoles.
sws1 flies show neurodegeneration compared to controls, with vacuoles present in the brain at 14 days of age.
sws1 mutants at 14 days old do not display any marked defects in circadian rhythms, but do exhibit symptoms of neurodegeneration evidenced by vacuoles in the brain.
14 day old vapKS67 mutant flies show vacuoles in all parts of the brain. These increase dramatically with age.
Adults have vacuoles in all brain regions. This degeneration increases with age, as shown by an increased number of vacuoles and shrinking of the cell cortex. An increasing amount of cell death is also seen in the brain. Compact dark bodies are seen in the cortex, especially the lamina cortex. These structures are first seen during late pupal stages, and increase in size during aging of the adult. Approximately 10% of brain cortex neurons are enwrapped by multilayered membranes originating from nearby glia in newly eclosed flies. Membranous whorls are seen in older flies. Homozygotes adults show a significant reduction in lifespan compared to wild-type flies.
many Swiss-cheese-like holes seen in brain sections of adults (similar to phenotype observed in dying drd flies). Phenotype has become less extreme, apparently due to accumulation of modifiers (Heisenberg).

per01, sws1 double mutants at 14 days old show marked increase in neurodegeneration as measured by area and number of vacuoles in the brain as compared to sws1 single mutants.
A subset of per01, sws1 double mutants exhibit some rhythmicity (13% of flies), in contrast to per01 single mutants in which 0% of flies have circadian rhythm, and sws1 single mutants in which 97% of flies have circadian rhythm.
