Abstract excerpt
We investigated synaptic ultrastructure of individual nerve ending varicosities at the Drosophila larval neuromuscular junction in transgenic larvae overexpressing the learning gene dunce (dnc) in the nervous system. It was previously shown that cAMP is reduced to one-third normal in these larvae and that they have fewer nerve terminal varicosities and smaller junction potentials, although transmitter release...
