Increasing the number of synapses modifies olfactory perception in Drosophila.

The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience - 15 Aug 2001

Acebes A, Ferrús A

Abstract excerpt

The Drosophila mutant gigas produces an enlargement of postmitotic cells caused by additional rounds of DNA replication. In neurons, the mutant cell establishes more synapses than normal. We have taken advantage of this feature to study the effect of synapse number on odorant perception. Mosaic adults were generated in which one antenna was homozygous for gigas, whereas the contralateral side served as an...
