The adult abdominal neuromuscular junction of Drosophila: a model for synaptic plasticity.

Journal of neurobiology - 1 Sept 2006

Hebbar Sarita, Hall Rachel E, Demski Sarah A, Subramanian Aswati, Fernandes Joyce J

Abstract excerpt

During its life cycle, Drosophila makes two sets of neuromuscular junctions (NMJs), embryonic/larval and adult, which serve distinct stage-specific functions. During metamorphosis, the larval NMJs are restructured to give rise to their adult counterparts, a process that is integrated into the overall remodeling of the nervous system. The NMJs of the prothoracic muscles and the mesothoracic dorsal longitudinal...
