  "summary": "Following nervous system injury, surviving bystander neurons may rewire and form synapses with new postsynaptic targets to restore circuit function. This protocol quantifies compensatory motor neuron sprouting at the Drosophila larval neuromuscular junction. We describe larval dissection, immunostaining, Airyscan imaging, image masking, muscle-specific region-of-interest selection, and Fiji-based…",
