A deletion associated with the imprecise excision of P{lacW}nemyP153.
nemy45/nemy45 third instar larvae show no significant change in the amplitude of miniature excitatory junction potentials (mEJPs), but did show a significant increase in mEJP frequency, at the neuromuscular junction compared to controls. nemy45/nemy45 larvae show a significant increase in amplitude of evoked EJPs and quantal content compared to controls. nemy45/nemy45 larvae do not show a significant change in bouton number at the NMJ compared to controls. Controls show mild paired pulse potentiation at short inster-stimulus intervals, whereas nemy45/nemy45 larvae show paired pulse depression.
Mutant flies show a significant defect in 3 hour memory (assayed 3 hours after a single training session in the odor-shock paradigm) compared to controls.
