Formation of specialized ribbon synapses in sensory hair cells involves dynamic precursor movement, microtubule-guided transport, and precursor fusion, culminating in synapse assembly essential for hearing and balance.
Failure in sexual behaviors suppresses sweet taste perception of male fruit flies, by dampening dopaminergic signaling between mating-related neural circuits and peripheral gustatory pathways.
ABBA ensures proper cortical development by regulating radial glial division through RhoA activity at the cleavage furrow, and its mutation results in developmental abnormalities linked to microcephaly.
