Background: Drosophila larvae possess only 21 odorant-receptor neurons (ORNs), whereas adults have 1,300. Does this suggest that the larval olfactory system is built according to a different design than its adult counterpart, or is it just a miniature version thereof? Results: By genetically labeling single neurons with FLP-out and MARCM techniques, we...
