Making Connections in the Fly Visual System
Understanding the molecular mechanisms that regulate formation of precise patterns of neuronal connections within the central nervous system remains a challenging problem in neurobiology. Genetic studies in worms and flies and molecular studies in vertebrate systems have led to an increasingly sophisticated understanding of how growth cones navigate toward their targets and form topographic map...
متن کاملFly cryptochrome and the visual system.
Cryptochromes are flavoproteins, structurally and evolutionarily related to photolyases, that are involved in the development, magnetoreception, and temporal organization of a variety of organisms. Drosophila CRYPTOCHROME (dCRY) is involved in light synchronization of the master circadian clock, and its C terminus plays an important role in modulating light sensitivity and activity of the prote...
متن کاملGlutamate, GABA and Acetylcholine Signaling Components in the Lamina of the Drosophila Visual System
Synaptic connections of neurons in the Drosophila lamina, the most peripheral synaptic region of the visual system, have been comprehensively described. Although the lamina has been used extensively as a model for the development and plasticity of synaptic connections, the neurotransmitters in these circuits are still poorly known. Thus, to unravel possible neurotransmitter circuits in the lami...
متن کاملSilicon Model of Motion Adaptation in the Fly Visual System
We describe an adaptive version of the Hassenstein–Reichardt detector, which models direction-selective computation in the fly. The Hassenstein– Reichardt detector has a fixed time constant. However, several researchers have shown that the time constant of the fly’s motion system adapts to the temporal frequency or speed of the input. The time constant of our adaptive detector also adapts to th...
متن کاملIntercellular glutamate signaling in the nervous system and beyond.
Most intercellular glutamate signaling in the nervous system occurs at synapses. Some intercellular glutamate signaling occurs outside synapses, however, and even outside the nervous system where high ambient extracellular glutamate might be expected to preclude the effectiveness of glutamate as an intercellular signal. Here, I briefly review the types of intercellular glutamate signaling in th...
