Gap junction proteins expressed during development are required for adult neural function in the Drosophila optic lamina.

The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience - 15 Aug 2002

Curtin Kathryn D, Zhang Zhan, Wyman Robert J

Abstract excerpt

We provide evidence that gap junction proteins, expressed during development, are necessary for the formation of normally functioning connections in the Drosophila optic lamina. Flies with mutations in the gap junction genes (innexins), shakingB, and ogre have normal photoreceptor potentials but a defective response of the postsynaptic cells in the optic lamina. This is indicated by a reduction in, or absence of,...
