Epidermal Cells Are the Primary Phagocytes in the Fragmentation and Clearance of Degenerating Dendrites in Drosophila
During developmental remodeling, neurites destined for pruning often degenerate on-site. Physical injury also induces degeneration of neurites distal to the injury site. Prompt clearance of degenerating neurites is important for maintaining tissue homeostasis and preventing inflammatory responses. Here we show that in both dendrite pruning and dendrite injury of Drosophila sensory neurons, epid...
متن کاملPropagation in Thalamocortical Dendrites
Dendritic propagation of low threshold Ca2+ potentials (LTCPs) and fast Na+ action potentials (APs) were investigated using in vivo and in vitro computational models of 3-D reconstructed neurons from the somatosensory and visual thalamus. Hot-spot, monotonic, bimodal, proximal, uniform channel densities were considered. For each, localized burst inhibition of various intensities elicited a rang...
متن کاملDNA sequences homologous to vertebrate oncogenes are conserved in Drosophila melanogaster.
Sequences homologous to the oncogene sequences of acute RNA tumor viruses have been shown to be highly conserved within vertebrates. In the present work, eight different oncogene DNA sequences have been used as probes to search for homologous sequences in the DNA of organisms of other phyla. Five of these probes hybridized to the DNA of Drosophila melanogaster. Abelson leukemia virus probe dete...
متن کاملDendrites: bug or feature?
The integrative properties of dendrites are determined by a complex mixture of factors, including their morphology, the spatio-temporal patterning of synaptic inputs, the balance of excitation and inhibition, and neuromodulatory influences, all of which interact with the many voltage-gated conductances present in the dendritic membrane. Recent efforts to grapple with this complexity have focuse...
متن کاملComputing with active dendrites
This paper introduces a new model of a spiking neuron with active dendrites and dynamic synapses (ADDS). The neuron employs the dynamics of the synapses and the active properties of the dendrites as an adaptive mechanism for maximising its response to a specific spatio-temporal distribution of incoming action potentials. The paper also presents a new spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) alg...
