At this stage animals are large enough such that the cell bodies of motor neurons in the ventral nerve cord are well spaced, making it less ambiguous in deciding if presumptive gap
junction puncta are associated with a particular motor neuron.

Determination of the expression pattern of antibody - or GFP - labelled
puncta (presumptive UNC -7-containing gap
junctions) in various mutant backgrounds was based on examination of at least two (typically more) independently isolated transgenic lines for each condition.
When expressed under control of the Punc - 7S promoter, UNC - 7L (Punc - 7S:: unc - 7L [M121L]-RRB- rescued unc - 7 (e5) forward locomotion; though much of the signal remained associated with cell bodies, some
puncta were seen localized to AVB: B motor neuron gap
junctions (Figure 10D).
