Trio preserves motor synapses and prolongs motor ability during aging

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

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

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, Soumya Banerjee, Samuel William Vernon, Wei Jiao

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 ...

FCC Physics Opportunities: Future Circular Collider Conceptual Design Report Volume 1

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Jan Steggemann, Elena Graverini, Jean-Michel Sallese, Thomas Rizzo, Luca Rossi, Rui Ning Wang, Fabio Avino, Xavier Buffat, Tatiana Pieloni

We review the physics opportunities of the Future Circular Collider, covering its e(+)e(-), pp, ep and heavy ion programmes. We describe the measurement capabilities of each FCC component, addressing the study of electroweak, Higgs and strong interactions, ...

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

Soumya Banerjee, Kumar Vishal

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 ...
