miR-124a suppresses dendritic branching of DA neurons in Drosophila. A, Wild-type ddaE and ddaF neurons in the dorsal cluster were labeled with mCD8-GFP driven by Gal4221. B, Ectopic expression of pre-miR-124a reduced dendritic branching of DA neurons. C, Ectopic expression of pre-miR-9a increased dendritic branching. D, Quantification of dendritic ends in wild-type (WT) ddaE or ddaF neurons and in neurons expressing pre-miR-124a, pre-miR-9a, and mutant pre-miR-124a. The values are mean ± SEM. ***p < 0.001 versus wild type.
