Effect of reduced impulse activity on the development of identified motor terminals in Drosophila larvae.

Journal of neurobiology - 5 Feb 2003

Lnenicka Gregory A, Spencer Gregory M, Keshishian Haig

Abstract excerpt

In Drosophila larvae, motoneurons show distinctive differences in the size of their synaptic boutons; that is, axon 1 has type Ib ("big" boutons) terminals and axon 2 has type Is ("small" boutons) terminals on muscle fibers 6 and 7. To determine whether axon 1 develops large boutons due to its high impulse activity, we reduced impulse activity and examined the motor terminals formed by axon 1. The number of...
