Abstract excerpt

In Drosophila, the para gene has been shown to encode a functional voltage-dependent sodium channel. We used a cDNA clone to study the distribution of its transcripts by in situ mRNA hybridization on adult fly sections. These transcripts are found in cortical regions of the central nervous system...
