Adaptation and fatigue of a mechanosensory neuron in wild-type Drosophila and in memory mutants.

The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience - 1 Feb 1990

Abstract excerpt

The mechanosensory neuron that innervates the anteronotopleural bristle of Drosophila melanogaster responds with a burst of action potentials to deflection of the bristle towards the body wall. The decay of the firing rate upon sustained deflection is typical of a slowly adapting mechanosensory n...
