Abstract excerpt
The stomatogastric nervous system (SNS) of Drosophila melanogaster is a small, simply organized neural circuitry which innervates the anterior enteric system. It is responsible for regulating the passage of food through the pharynx and esophagus and into the midgut. Here we show that the development of the SNS is amenable to genetic dissection. We screened lines from a P-element mutagenesis, selecting those with...
