UNC-30 (e165) Color Code Reconstructed in August 1988

Reviewed by DHH; July 2010

This animal was probably studied by John White. It presents a thin section series of the anterior portion of the dorsal and ventral cords of an adult animal. Other studies have demonstrated that GABA expression is reduced or absent in class D motoneurons in this mutant.

Please note in this animal that some class D axons appear have one or more extra branches within one of the nerve cords (indicated below by a * or ** on the chart); sometimes several branches are involved in synapses, but in other cases only one branch is involved in synapses.

Color codes are taken from a page in MRC green notebook #3. Different codes were used for the two nerve cords.
