Abstract excerpt
Natural variation in neuronal excitability and connectivity has not been extensively studied. In Drosophila melanogaster, a naturally maintained genetic polymorphism at a cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) gene, foraging (for), is associated with alternative food search strategies among the allelic variants Rover (for(R); higher PKG activity) and sitter (for(s); lower PKG activity). We examined physiological and...
