Description: Information captured by the lateral-line sensory system is relayed to the brain through sensory neurons, whose cell bodies form a ganglion. By combining transgenics lines that express fluorescent markers at different stages of neuronal development, we can reveal the relative age of neurons. Old neurons(Cherry)occupy the dorsal region of the ganglion whereas young neurons(GFP)occupy the ventral region. A single neuron was back-filled with Alexa 647 Fluor-dextran (in blue).
