Fast Flies Take a Quantum Leap
Presynaptic regulation of quantal size is an appealing mechanism for changing synapse strength. In this issue of Neuron, Steinert et al. describe an activity-dependent increase in synapse strength mediated by the formation and release of large synaptic vesicles at the Drosophila neuromuscular junction.
متن کاملRed - Take a Closer Look
Color research has shown that red is associated with avoidance of threat (e.g., failure) or approach of reward (e.g., mating) depending on the context in which it is perceived. In the present study we explored one central cognitive process that might be involved in the context dependency of red associations. According to our theory, red is supposed to highlight the relevance (importance) of a g...
متن کاملMuscle cells take heart
JCB • VOLUME 169 • NUMBER 1 • 2005 16 Folding in a crowd roteins fold better in a crowd, as predicted by a biophysical model from Margaret Cheung, Dmitri Klimov, and D. Thirumalai (University of Maryland, College Park, MD). Interactions between a protein and large nearby molecules produce repulsive forces at distances that can be as large as the protein itself. The group modeled the energetic e...
متن کاملDo Flies Have A Red Receptor?
(1) The compound eye of Musca exhibits characteristics which have heretofore frequently been considered evidence for color receptors: (a) The spectral sensitivity curve has several peaks whose relative heights can be altered by selective adaptation to colored lights, and (b) the shape of the retinal action potential varies with wave length. (2) The action spectrum for the red enhancement of on ...
متن کاملResponse of phlebotomine sand flies to light-emitting diode-modified light traps in southern Egypt.
Centers For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) light traps were modified for use with light-emitting diodes (LED) and compared against a control trap (incandescent light) to determine the effectiveness of blue, green, and red lights against standard incandescent light routinely used for sand fly surveillance. Light traps were baited with dry ice and rotated through a 4 x 4 Latin square design...
