Structural and Molecular Properties of Insect Type II Motor Axon Terminals

Structural and Molecular Properties of Insect Type II Motor Axon Terminals

A comparison between the axon terminals of octopaminergic efferent dorsal or ventral unpaired median neurons in either desert locusts (Schistocerca gregaria) or fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) across skeletal muscles reveals many similarities. In both species the octopaminergic axon forms bead...
