Big Lessons from Tiny Flies:<em> Drosophila Melanogaster </em>as a Model to Explore Dysfunction of Dopaminergic and Serotonergic Neurotransmitter Systems

2018-05-22

Abstract excerpt

The brain of Drosophila melanogaster is comprised of some 100,00 neurons, 127 and 80 of which are dopaminergic and serotonergic, respectively. Their activity regulates behavioral functions equivalent to those in mammals, e.g. motor activity, reward and aversion, memory formation, feeding, sexual appetite etc. Mammalian dopaminergic and serotonergic neurons are known to be heterogeneous. They differ in their projec...
