متن کاملSynaptic thermoprotection in a desert-dwelling Drosophila species.
Synaptic transmission is a critical mechanism for transferring information from the nervous system to the body. Environmental stress, such as extreme temperature, can disrupt synaptic transmission and result in death. Previous work on larval Drosophila has shown that prior heat-shock exposure protects synaptic transmission against failure during subsequent thermal stress. This induced thermopro...
