Motor neuron boutons remodel through membrane blebbing

2021-03-07

Abstract excerpt

Wired neurons form new presynaptic boutons in response to increased synaptic activity, but the mechanism by which this occurs remains uncertain. The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is a synapse formed between motor neurons (MNs) and skeletal muscle fibers and is critical for control of muscle contraction. Because Drosophila MNs have clearly discernible boutons that display robust structural plasticity, it is the ide...
