Neural plasticity and its molecular mechanisms in Drosophila

In order to understand molecular mechanisms of neural plasticity, habituation of a simple neural circuit in Drosophila melanogester was investigated. A resistance reflex controlling the femoro-tibial joint angle was identified using electromyogram recording from the tibial extensor muscle. It was sh...
