Dendritic reduction in Passover, a Drosophila mutant with a defective giant fiber neuronal pathway.

Journal of neurobiology - 1 Jul 1993

Baird D H, Koto M, Wyman R J

Abstract excerpt

The jump response to a light-off startle stimulus in Drosophila melanogaster occurs when the Giant Fiber (GF), a neuron descending from the brain to the thorax, drives the jump (tergotrochanteral) muscle motorneuron (TTMn). Nonjumping mutants have been isolated in which this response is disrupted. Flies bearing the X-chromosome mutation Passover (Pas) fail to jump in response to a light-off stimulus, and...
