Description
Drosophila mushroom body (MB) neurons undergo axon pruning during metamorphosis through a process of localized degeneration of specific axon branches. Developmental axon degeneration is initiated at the onset of metamorphosis by the pre-pupal rise in the steroid hormone ecdysone. This study identifies genes that alter their expression in MB neurons at the onset and early steps of axon pruning.
