While a large portion of the Drosophila neurodegeneration mutants (bubblegum, swiss cheese, loechrig, ApoD, frataxin, sicily) [19–23] affect lipid metabolism and disturb LD homeostasis, neither the cellular, nor the spatio-temporal distribution of LDs has been described to date in Drosophila. In this paper, we used the brain of the fruitfly to study lipid droplet anatomy in the larval nervous system.
