Defective glia in the Drosophila brain degeneration mutant drop-dead.

Neuron - 1 May 1993

Buchanan R L, Benzer S

Abstract excerpt

To understand better the cellular basis of late-onset neuronal degeneration, we have examined the brain of the drop-dead mutant of Drosophila. This mutant carries an X-chromosomal recessive mutation that causes severe behavioral defects and brain degeneration, manifested a few days after emergenc...
