Optomotor-blind of Drosophila melanogaster: a neurogenetic approach to optic lobe development and optomotor behaviour

G O Pflugfelder et al. Comp Biochem Physiol A Physiol. 1995 Mar.

Abstract

The gene optomotor-blind (omb) plays a crucial role in Drosophila optic lobe development. Various mutations in omb lead to different structural defects in the adult optic lobes with correlated behavioural phenotypes. Molecular analysis of omb allows one to trace back behavioural defects to the spatio-temporal misexpression of the gene in mutant development.
