Abstract excerpt
In the Drosophila mutant dunce, short-term memory is deficient and intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) concentration is elevated. We examined the effect of increased cAMP concentration on the potassium current. The conventional whole-cell technique was applied to cultured "giant" Drosophila neurons derived from cell-division arrested embryonic neuroblasts. Potassium membrane currents were measured...
