Abstract

A collection of behavioral mutations perturbing various aspects of neuronal membrane excitability has been obtained in Drosophila. These mutations are the subjects of a multidisciplinary analysis using genetic, electrophysiological, and molecular techniques to learn how and why they perturb excitable membranes. Results from these studies can help elucidate how the signalling capabilities of different neurons are genetically specified and how changes in the activity of these cells modifies behavior.

Even more striking is the phenotype of eag Sh double mutants. These larvae display long trains of action potentials associated with ejps of extremely large amplitude whose duration is at least an order of magnitude greater than in eag or Sh alone20,21. The eag phenotype and its interaction with Sh are most readily explained by supposing that eag mutations perturb a potassium current different from the one affected by Sh.
Genetic analysis of ion channel dysfunction in Drosophila. To dissect the molecular mechanisms of electrical activity in the nervous system, an extensive collection of mutations affecting various types of voltage-gated ion channels was identified and characterized in Drosophila. Most of these mutations were generated by chemical mutagenesis and were recognized on the basis of defects in motor behavior. These were the first genetically determined ion channelopathies to be characterized in any multicellular organism. Drosophila is a particularly attractive model system for such studies because of the availability of powerful genetic, electrophysiological, and molecular techniques for generating new mutations, characterizing their phenotypes, and cloning the genes thus defined. Consequently, a number of ion channels, including various types of K⁺ channels that had not yielded previously to biochemical approaches, were first identified via a genetic strategy in Drosophila. Evolutionary conservation of these genes enabled subsequent isolation of the corresponding genes from various mammals, including humans. Several of these human homologues have been found to be associated with heritable neuromuscular disorders. Studies of ion channel mutations in Drosophila have thus provided important biological information concerning the molecular and functional diversity of ion channels, their evolutionary relationships, and their in vivo functions in the nervous system. Similar studies of additional new mutations should now facilitate the analysis of ion channel regulatory mechanisms.
Activity-dependent Functional and Developmental Plasticity of Drosophila Neurons
1998, Advances in Insect Physiology
This chapter focuses on the study of the in situ physiological and developmental effects of mutations at the neuronal and circuit levels that essentially underlie behavioral plasticity. It provides the recent developments about neural plasticity at the cellular level in Drosophila. The chapter essentially considers in vivo and in vitro preparations that provide insights into cellular processes of neural plasticity. Reflex circuits, plasticity in identified presynaptic arbors, and developmental and functional plasticity in neuronal cultures are presented in this chapter. As the neurogenetic study of neural plasticity unfolds, the results thus obtained indicate that the effects of mutations on neural plasticity are far from uniform at different locations in the nervous system. With complications of the timing of developmental events, such as critical periods of sensitivity to mutational perturbations and the different cell types involved in the assembly of the functioning nervous system, it becomes important to discern the specific components at the different levels of organization that are relevant to a particular form of neural plasticity, observed in neuronal networks and behavioural expression.
