New Dystrophin/Dystroglycan interactors control neuron behavior in Drosophila eye

BMC Neuroscience, 2011
Background The Dystrophin Glycoprotein Complex (DGC) is a large multi-component complex that is well known for its function in muscle tissue. When the main components of the DGC, Dystrophin (Dys) and Dystroglycan (Dg) are affected cognitive impairment ...

Coordinated Gating of TRP-Dependent Channels in Rhabdomeral Membranes fromDrosophilaRetinas [PDF]

The Journal of Neuroscience, 2000
Using a newly developed dissociation procedure, we isolated the specialized rhabdomeral membranes from Drosophila retinal photoreceptors. From these membranes, we have recorded spontaneous active currents in excised patch, voltage-clamp recordings. We observed rapid opening events that closely resembled those ascribed to one class of light-activated ...

Complex polarity: building multicellular tissues through apical membrane traffic [PDF]

, 2016
The formation of distinct subdomains of the cell surface is crucial for multicellular organism development. The most striking example of this is apical-basal polarization.

Circadian rhythms in the Drosophila eye may regulate adaptation of vision to light intensity

Frontiers in Neuroscience
The sensitivity of the eye at night would lead to complete saturation of the eye during the day. Therefore, the sensitivity of the eye must be down-regulated during the day to maintain visual acuity.

Modeling elucidates how refractory period can provide profound nonlinear gain control to graded potential neurons [PDF]

, 2017
Refractory period (RP) plays a central role in neural signaling. Because it limits an excitable membrane's recovery time from a previous excitation, it can restrict information transmission.

Response of the body morphometrics and eye development of the crayfish (Cambarellus patzcuarensis) to differing light wavelengths experienced during juvenile life [PDF]

, 2017
The growth process in crustaceans is periodic and can be affected by a variety of environmental factors. Photoperiod has been hypothesized to indirectly affect growth by altering feeding behaviour; in addition, previous studies have found that light ...

Loss of vesicular dopamine release precedes tauopathy in degenerative dopaminergic neurons in a Drosophila model expressing human tau. [PDF]

, 2013
While a number of genome-wide association studies have identified microtubule-associated protein tau as a strong risk factor for Parkinson's disease (PD), little is known about the mechanism through which human tau can predispose an individual to this ...

The reniform reflecting superposition compound eyes of Nephrops norvegicus: optics, susceptibility to light-induced damage, electrophysiology and a ray tracing model [PDF]

, 2013
The large reniform eyes of the reptant, tube-dwelling decapod Nephrops norvegicus are described in detail. Optically these reflecting superposition compound eyes are a little unusual in that they are laterally flattened, a feature that may enhance their ...
