Genetics and Molecular Biology of Ionic Channels in Drosophila

Abstract

In this review we examine mutations that alter electrical excitability in the nervous system of the fruitfly, Drosophila melanogaster, and discuss how these mutations may be used to approach the molecular basis of ionic channel function.
