Fast calcium signals in Drosophila motor neuron terminals.

Journal of neurophysiology - 1 Nov 2002

Macleod G T, Hegström-Wojtowicz M, Charlton M P, Atwood H L

Abstract excerpt

Drosophila is a powerful model for neuroscientists, but physiological techniques have not kept pace with advances in molecular genetics. We introduce a reliable assay for intracellular calcium dynamics in Drosophila larval motor neuron terminals, and a new physiological solution that improves the longevity of the larval preparation. By loading calcium indicators into motor neuron terminals through cut axons, we...
