Loss of the Mitochondrial Fission GTPase Drp1 Contributes to Neurodegeneration in a <i>Drosophila</i> Model of Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia

Mitochondrial morphology, distribution and function are maintained by the opposing forces of mitochondrial fission and fusion, the perturbation of which gives rise to several neurodegenerative disorders. The large guanosine triphosphate (GTP)ase dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) is a critical regulat...
