Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

The neurotransmission across neuromuscular junctions in third instar larvae, assessed by excitatory junction potential amplitude and quantal content, is significantly impaired in Rim103/RimEx73 transheterozygotes, but not in Rim103 heterozygotes, as compared to controls.

Neuromuscular junctions in homozygous third instar larvae show a complete lack of synaptic homeostasis after treatment with philanthotoxin-433 (PhTX): the average EPSP amplitude is significantly reduced in the presence of PhTX compared with the baseline measured in the absence of PhTX. The defect in homeostatic plasticity is not restored by increasing extracellular Ca[2+].

The neuromuscular junction of mutant third instar larvae shows a significant reduction in EPSC amplitude in response to a single presynaptic stimulus than controls. This relative decrease in EPSC amplitude persists in the mutants at elevated extracellular Ca[2+] levels. Upon repeated stimulation the mutant neuromuscular junctions show very strong facilitation compared to wild type.

The electrophysiological responses of neuromuscular junctions of mutant third instar larvae are more sensitive to EGTA than wild-type.
