Trio preserves motor synapses and prolongs motor ability during aging

Evelyne Ruchti, Greta Limoni, Brian Donal McCabe, Wei Jiao, Soumya Banerjee, Samuel William Vernon

The decline of motor ability is a hallmark feature of aging and is accompanied by degeneration of motor synaptic terminals. Consistent with this, Drosophila motor synapses undergo characteristic age -dependent structural fragmentation co -incident with dim ...

Intact Drosophila central nervous system cellular quantitation reveals sexual dimorphism

Kathryn Hess Bellwald, Evelyne Ruchti, Ying Shi, Brian Donal McCabe, Wei Jiao, Soumya Banerjee, Gard Spreemann, Samuel William Vernon

Establishing with precision the quantity and identity of the cell types of the brain is a prerequisite for a detailed compendium of gene and protein expression in the central nervous system (CNS). Currently, however, strict quantitation of cell numbers has ...

Miniature neurotransmission is required to maintain Drosophila synaptic structures during ageing

Olivier Burri, Evelyne Ruchti, Brian Donal McCabe, Wei Jiao, Soumya Banerjee, Samuel William Vernon

The decline of neuronal synapses is an established feature of ageing accompanied by the diminishment of neuronal function, and in the motor system at least, a reduction of behavioural capacity. Here, we have investigated Drosophila motor neuron synaptic te ...

Remodeling of peripheral nerve ensheathment during the larval-to-adult transition in Drosophila

Kumar Vishal, Soumya Banerjee

Over the course of a 4-day period of metamorphosis, the Drosophila larval nervous system is remodeled to prepare for adult-specific behaviors. One example is the reorganization of peripheral nerves in the abdomen, where five pairs of abdominal nerves (A4-A ...

dHb9 Expressing Larval Motor Neurons Persist Through Metamorphosis to Innervate Adult-Specific Muscle Targets and Function in Drosophila Eclosion

Soumya Banerjee

The Drosophila larval nervous system is radically restructured during metamorphosis to produce adult specific neural circuits and behaviors. Genesis of new neurons, death of larval neurons and remodeling of those neurons that persistent collectively act to ...
