Motor Neurons Decode Cholinergic Inputs via Spatially Distinct nAChR Subunits to Drive Locomotion in Drosophila larvae

2025-06-11

Abstract excerpt

Neural circuits consist of neurons that differ not only in their neurotransmitter identities but also in the types and subcellular localization of neurotransmitter receptors (NRs) they express. This receptor diversity enables distinct responses to the same neurotransmitter, highlighting the need to understand NR distribution and function to fully interpret circuit logic. Here, we focus on nicotinic acetylcholine r...
