Blocking apoptosis (using BacA\p35UAS.cHa) of Scer\GAL40670-G4 neurons prevents the cell death, but not the degeneration of processes, seen during metamorphosis in controls.
Ablation (using Cbβ\DT-AI.UAS) of Scer\GAL4NP3056 neurons, in combination with a Gal80[ts] transgene to restrict expression to between late third instar larva and 6.5 hours after puparium formation, results in mild differences in the relative distances between adult antennal lobe glomeruli, compared to controls; there is no obvious mistargeting of projection neuron dendrites.
