New Insights into Drosophila Vision
Studies of the Drosophila visual system have provided valuable insights into the function and regulation of phototransduction signaling pathways. Much of this work has stemmed from or relied upon the genetic tools offered by the Drosophila system. In this issue of Neuron, Wang and colleagues and Acharya and colleagues have further exploited the Drosophila genetic system to characterize two new ...
متن کاملActivity-Dependent Synaptic Refinement: New Insights from Drosophila
During development, neurons establish inappropriate connections as they seek out their synaptic partners, resulting in supernumerary synapses that must be pruned away. The removal of miswired synapses usually involves electrical activity, often through a Hebbian spike-timing mechanism. A novel form of activity-dependent refinement is used by Drosophila that may be non-Hebbian, and is critical f...
متن کاملHealthy Aging – Insights from Drosophila
Human life expectancy has nearly doubled in the past century due, in part, to social and economic development, and a wide range of new medical technologies and treatments. As the number of elderly increase it becomes of vital importance to understand what factors contribute to healthy aging. Human longevity is a complex process that is affected by both environmental and genetic factors and inte...
متن کاملSynaptic development: insights from Drosophila.
In Drosophila, the larval neuromuscular junction is particularly tractable for studying how synapses develop and function. In contrast to vertebrate central synapses, each presynaptic motor neuron and postsynaptic muscle cell is unique and identifiable, and the wiring circuit is invariant. Thus, the full power of Drosophila genetics can be brought to bear on a single, reproducibly identifiable,...
متن کاملDNA Repair in Drosophila : Insights from the Drosophila Genome Sequence
Both genetic and biochemical approaches have been used to study the molecular mechanisms by which damaged DNA is repaired in a number of species. The fundamental DNA repair pathways have been functionally conserved for the most part among prokaryotes, lower eukaryotes, and higher eukaryotes, and the proteins and protein families involved in these repair processes show high degrees of amino acid...
