Neurons of the Drosophila giant fiber system: I. Dorsal longitudinal motor neurons.

The Journal of comparative neurology - 13 Oct 1997

Sun Y A, Wyman R J

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 somata of these motor neurons has been a source of controversy. This paper identifies the somata and provides a...
