Homeostasis of synaptic transmission in Drosophila with genetically altered nerve terminal morphology.

The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience - 15 Jun 1996

Abstract excerpt

We present a new test of the hypothesis that synaptic strength is directly related to nerve terminal morphology through analysis of synaptic transmission at Drosophila neuromuscular junctions with a genetically reduced number of nerve terminal varicosities. Synaptic transmission would decrease in...
