Differences in octopaminergic innervation by VUM-neuron axon (green) of Drosophila larval body muscle (14 and 28, below muscle fibers 6 and 7) between a control animal (A) and a larva that was starved for 6 h (B). More octopaminergic branches are found in the starved animal compared to the control. (Ai,Bi) show magnified sections of areas marked by white squares in (A,B), respectively. (C) Within 2 h of food deprivation the number of synaptopods decreases significantly. If starvation continues an increase in the number of synaptopods can be observed. After a total of 6 h of starvation the larvae have a significantly increased number of synaptopods (n = 32; *p < 0.05).
