Figure 2. Ulk2 promotes dendritic branching.

Figure 2

A and B. Habenular neurons were scatter labeled using Hb:Gal4 and UAS:CaaXGFP to label isolated neurons. Arrows point to dendrites on WT (highly branched) and morphant (reduced branched) neurons. Insets demonstrate how branches were quantified; each branch of a dendrite is drawn in a different color. Scale bar is 10 µm. C. Branches per dendrite were calculated by dividing the total number of branches by the number of dendrites per larva. Fifty-seven neurons were quantified in WT larvae and forty-five in morphant larvae. Ulk2 morphants had a decreased number of branches relative to WT (***p<0.0001, ANOVA).
