Abstract excerpt

Mutations that affect the physiological properties of neurones or the development of neuronal circuits are likely to have profound effects on sensory and motor pathways. We have examined the effects of mutations in two loci--the Shaker complex and shaking-B-on the taste pathway of Drosophila mela...
