• In the locust, olfactory information is sent from peripheral olfactory organs to the antennal lobe (AL) and is then carried as the oscillatory output of a synchronized population of projection neurons (PNs) ( Wehr and Laurent, 1996 ) to two higher olfactory centers. (jneurosci.org)
  • We show that while queen mandibular pheromone is processed by l-ALT (lateral antennal lobe tract) neurons and brood pheromone is mainly processed by m-ALT (median antennal lobe tract) neurons, worker pheromones induce redundant activity in both pathways. (jneurosci.org)
  • Drosophila type II neuroblasts (NBs), like mammalian neural stem cells, deposit neurons through intermediate neural progenitors (INPs) that can each produce a series of neurons. (biologists.com)
  • These studies favored the view that pheromone compounds are processed within specific antennal lobe glomeruli following a specialized labeled-line system. (jneurosci.org)
  • Then the binding properties of the antennal binding protein to 39 ligand compounds were detected by fluorescence competitive binding assays. (insect.org.cn)
  • A role for a Drosophila Eph receptor tyrosine kinase (Eph) in the control of photoreceptor axon and cortical axon topography in the developing visual system is described. (sdbonline.org)
  • Utilising fly genetics, this study generated the first Drosophila model of human wild-type and P460L mutant EphA1 and tested the effects of Eph /ephrin signalling on AD-relevant behaviour and neurophysiology. (sdbonline.org)
  • In contrast to fear memories, which are longer lasting and requires activity of D1-like dopamine receptors only in the mushroom bodies, approach memory is short-lasting and requires activity of D1-like dopamine receptors in projection neurons originating from the antennal lobes, primary olfactory centers.

  • In the locust, olfactory information is sent from peripheral olfactory organs to the antennal lobe (AL) and is then carried as the oscillatory output of a synchronized population of projection neurons (PNs) ( Wehr and Laurent, 1996 ) to two higher olfactory centers. (jneurosci.org)
  • Intense staining was detected in the calyces of the mushroom bodies, glomeruli of the antennal lobes, lower central body, the corpora cardiaca and several cell layers of the medulla and the lobula regions of the optic lobe. (nih.gov)
  • A third type of neurogenesis occurs in the developing optic lobe, where NBs derive from neuroepithelial precursors. (biomedcentral.com)
  • We developed a cell culture system in Drosophila using wildtype and genetically manipulated primary neural tissue for long-term observations. (biomedcentral.com)
  • This study demonstrates that the CGG repeat expansion responsible for the neurodegenerative disorder FXTAS is capable of interacting genetically with modulators of UPS function in Drosophila and of inducing UPS impairment in human cell lines. (sdbonline.org)
  • Repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation leads to inclusion formation in a Drosophila model of CGG repeat toxicity. (sdbonline.org)
  • It has been difficult to study defined neural Drosophila cells in vitro over a longer culture period [ 8 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
  • To test this hypothesis, this study used Drosophila - and cell-based models of CGG-repeat-associated toxicity. (sdbonline.org)
  • Driving expression of FMRpolyG enhances induction of UPS impairment in cell models, while prevention of RAN translation attenuates UPS impairment in cells and suppresses the genetic interaction with UPS manipulation in Drosophila . (sdbonline.org)
