Genetic dissection of functional contributions of specific potassium channel subunits in habituation of an escape circuit in Drosophila.

Abstract excerpt

Potassium channels have been implicated in central roles in activity-dependent neural plasticity. The giant fiber escape pathway of Drosophila has been established as a model for analyzing habituation and its modification by memory mutations in an identified circuit. Several genes in Drosophila encoding K+ channel subunits have been characterized, permitting examination of the contributions of specific channel...
