An optogenetic assay of <i>Drosophila</i> larval motor neuron performance <i>in vivo</i>

2025-08-21

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Over fifty million people worldwide currently live with neurodegenerative diseases, many of which are the result of pathogenic gene variants. Genetically malleable model organisms provide an avenue for research into the genetic bases of these diseases, and the large motor neurons of fruit fly larvae provide a test bed for investigating neuronal mechanisms impacted by pathogenic gene variants....
