Abstract excerpt
The neuromuscular connections of Drosophila are ideally suited for studying synaptic function and development. Hypotheses about cell recognition can be tested in a simple array of pre- and postsynaptic elements. Drosophila muscle fibers are multiply innervated by individually identifiable motoneu...
