Drosophila melanogaster in the study of epilepsy

2020
Epilepsy models in rodents include the administration of repeated electrical stimulation or chemoconvulsant drugs to induce seizures. Perhaps one of the strongest validations for the use of Drosophila seizure mutants for the study of epilepsy is the fact that clinically-relevant anti-epileptic drugs are able to suppress seizures in the fly. The ability

Phototransduction in Drosophila melanogaster

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2001
SUMMARY As in most invertebrate microvillar photoreceptors, phototransduction in Drosophila melanogaster uses a G-protein-coupled phosphoinositide pathway, whereby hydrolysis of phosphatidyl inositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) by phospholipase C generates inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) and diacyl glycerol (DAG), leading to activation ...

Drosophila melanogaster

2009
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses Drosophila melanogaster,. The genus Drosophila, and D. melanogaster in particular, continues to be an important model system in biological research. D. melanogaster originated in tropical West Africa and has spread around the world, primarily through its commensal associations with humans.

Mechanoreceptors in Drosophila melanogaster

2017
In Chaps. 1 and 2, we introduced the physiological roles of mechanotransduction and the conceptual design of a mechanoreceptor. How does a real mechanoreceptor look like and what are its specific functions in physiology? In this chapter, we provide the introduction for the specialized mechanoreceptors in Drosophila melanogaster, including their ...
