Modulation of Drosophila heartbeat by neurotransmitters.

Journal of comparative physiology. B, Biochemical, systemic, and environmental physiology - 1 Feb 1997

Johnson E, Ringo J, Dowse H

Abstract excerpt

The heart of Drosophila melanogaster is a simple muscular tube with a posterior pulsatile portion and a thoracic-cranial vessel. The pacemaker, located caudally, is myogenic. Its rate of firing is modulated by neurotransmitters. Serotonin, octopamine, norepinephrine, dopamine, and acetylcholine accelerate the heart, in that order of potency. Dihydroxyphenylalanine, gamma-aminobutyric acid, glutamate, and glycine...
