Figure 2. Neuronal expression pattern of young brain genes in the Drosophila phylogeny.

Figure 2

(A) Schematic representation of the major Drosophila brain centers. MB, mushroom body, CB, central body complex, AL, antennal lobe, PB, protocerebrum, DB, deutocerebrum, AMMC, antennal mechanosensory and motor center, SOG, subesophageal ganglia, OL, optic lobe.

(B) Simplified phylogenetic tree showing representative species in the melanogaster and obscura groups and their divergence time in millions of years (Myr) from present. Green stars denote events of young brain gene origination. Enhancer-trap based expression patterns in Drosophila brain corresponding to representative young brain genes are shown on the right. Magnified insets show the CB (CG31875), SOG (CG30018), AMMC (CG11942) and protocerebra (CG11825 and CG12112). Green, Gal4-driven GFP; red, pan-neuropil labeling with nc82. Scale bar = 100 μm.
