    <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title>
    <jats:p>Drosophila is an excellent model organism for studying human neurodegenerative diseases (NDs). However, there is still almost no experimental system that could directly observe the degeneration of neurons and automatically quantify axonal degeneration. In this study, we created MeDUsA (a ‘method for the quantification of degeneration using fly axons’), a standalone executable computer program based on Python that combines a pre-trained deep-learning masking tool with an axon terminal counting tool. This software automatically quantifies the number of retinal R7 axons in Drosophila from a confocal z-stack image series. Using this software, we were able to directly demonstrate that axons were degenerated by the representative causative genes of NDs for the first time in Drosophila. The fly retinal axon is an excellent experimental system that is capable of mimicking the pathology of axonal degeneration in human NDs. MeDUsA rapidly and accurately quantifies axons in Drosophila photoreceptor neurons. It enables large-scale research into axonal degeneration, including screening to identify genes or drugs that mediate axonal toxicity caused by ND proteins and diagnose the pathological significance of novel variants of human genes in axons.</jats:p>

    <jats:p>Transmembrane protein Golden goal (Gogo) interacts with atypical cadherin Flamingo (Fmi) to direct R8 photoreceptor axons in the<jats:italic>Drosophila</jats:italic>visual system. However, the precise mechanisms underlying Gogo regulation during columnar- and layer-specific R8 axon targeting are unknown. Our studies demonstrated that the insulin secreted from surface and cortex glia switches the phosphorylation status of Gogo, thereby regulating its two distinct functions. Non-phosphorylated Gogo mediates the initial recognition of the glial protrusion in the center of the medulla column, whereas phosphorylated Gogo suppresses radial filopodia extension by counteracting Flamingo to maintain a one axon-to-one column ratio. Later, Gogo expression ceases during the midpupal stage, thus allowing R8 filopodia to extend vertically into the M3 layer. These results demonstrate that the long- and short-range signaling between the glia and R8 axon growth cones regulates growth cone dynamics in a stepwise manner, and thus shapes the entire organization of the visual system.</jats:p>
