Abstract excerpt

We investigated the neuromuscular transmission in relation with genetic neuronal excitability changes in mutants T(X;Y)V7 and ShK,S133 of Drosophila. These mutations affect two different genes belonging to the Shaker gene complex which encode different yet functionally related proteins. Experimen...
