Population Morphology Implies a Common Developmental Blueprint for <i>Drosophila</i> Motion Detectors.

ABSTRACT: Detailed characterisation of neuronal morphology provides vital clues for understanding the wiring logic and development of neural circuits. As neuron arbours can both span large distances, and be densely interwoven, one major challenge is acquiring and quantifying fine structures for independent arbours over large spatial extents. Recent whole-brain electron microscopy (EM) connectomes of Drosophila melanogaster provide an ideal opportunity to study fly neuronal morphology at scale. Utilising this rich resource, we developed novel computational methods and morphological metrics to perform the most comprehensive morphological analysis of the dendrites of T4 and T5 neurons in the fly brain. T4 and T5 neurons are the first direction-selective neurons in the visual pathway. They are th
