Abstract excerpt
The giant fiber system (GFS) mediates the startle response of Drosophila. This response includes an activation of the dorsal longitudinal wing-depressor muscles (DLMs). However, the morphology of the motor neurons innervating these muscles has not been well studied. Even the location of the somat...
