Original video: https://youtu.be/i2NwH4EO-3g Published on: 06 October 2020 Witness the precise moment of cellular awakening in this 2-photon time-lapse of neuroblasts reactivating from quiescence. Filmed using an advanced immobilization technique, this sequence captures the late first-instar (L1) Ventral Nerve Cord (VNC) of a Drosophila larva in a lateral orientation—the optimal view for visualizing delicate neuroblast fibers. The video begins 24 hours after larval hatching,
