Atypical developmental remodeling of dopamine neurons involves AKT-GSK3β signaling and glia activity

Xiaofan Zhang, Wei Chen, Yayu Wang…·Yuh Nung Jan

The paper identifies an atypical axon overgrowth followed by pruning in Drosophila dopamine neurons, involving AKT-GSK3β signaling and glia activity, distinct from canonical developmental remodeling.
