Journal ArticleDOI

Dissecting the pathological effects of human Aβ40 and Aβ42 in Drosophila: A potential model for Alzheimer's disease

Koichi Iijima, +5 more
- 27 Apr 2004 - 
TL;DR: It is strongly suggested that accumulation of Aβ42 in the brain is sufficient to cause behavioral deficits and neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Morphological plasticity of motor axons in Drosophila mutants with altered excitability.

Vivian Budnik, +2 more
- 01 Nov 1990 - 
TL;DR: An anatomical and electrophysiological study of Drosophila mutants has been made to determine the effect of altered electrical activity on the development and maintenance of larval neuromuscular junctions, which revealed rhythmic bursts of spikes in eag Sh mutants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Altered synaptic plasticity in Drosophila memory mutants with a defective cyclic AMP cascade

Yi Zhong, +1 more
- 11 Jan 1991 - 
TL;DR: The results suggest that the cAMP cascade plays a role in synaptic facilitation and potentiation and indicate that synaptic plasticity is altered in Drosophila memory mutants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synaptic plasticity in Drosophila memory and hyperexcitable mutants: role of cAMP cascade

Yi Zhong, +2 more
- 01 Feb 1992 - 
TL;DR: The morphology of larval motor axon terminals was examined by anti-HRP immunohistochemistry and it was found that the numbers of terminal varicosities and branches were increased in dnc mutants, which have elevated cAMP concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rescue of a Drosophila NF1 mutant phenotype by protein kinase A

Gregory E. Hannigan, +13 more
- 02 May 1997 - 
TL;DR: NF1 and PKA appear to interact in a pathway that controls the overall growth of Drosophila, with a reduction in size of larvae, pupae, and adults.
