Probing Synaptic Transmission and Behavior in Drosophila with Optogenetics: A Laboratory Exercise.

Year: 2018

Type: article

Abstract: mutant allele, which confers heightened evoked potential amplitude and greatly increased spontaneous vesicle release frequency at the larval neuromuscular junction. These modules introduced educators and students to the use of optogenetic stimulation to control behavior and evoked release at a model synapse, and establish a basis for students to explore neurophysiology using this technique, through recapitulating classic experiments and conducting independent research.
