Morphological quantifications of adult optic lobe astrocytes.

(A) Schematic of the cross-section of the adult optic lobe and its four neuropils: lamina, medulla, lobula, and lobula plate, with the different astrocyte morphologies indicated. Morphologies described originate from sparse Astrocyte(R86E01)>MCFO clones. Dashed lines indicate the neuropil layers. (B, C) Box and whisker plots of total cell volumes (B) and number of primary branches (C) for each astrocyte morphology. N = 8 clones. (D, E) Box and whisker plots of cell volumes within each neuropil layer pair for each astrocyte morphology of the medulla (D) and lobula complex (E). N = 8 clones. Line in the middle represents the median; box limits represent the 25th and 75th percentiles; whiskers indicate minimum and maximum. The data underlying (B–E) can be found in S5 Data. (TIF)
