A Simple Neuronal Mechanical Injury Methodology to Study Drosophila Motor Neuron Degeneration
July 19th, 2017
•Here we describe a simple and widely accessible method to injure segmental nerves in Drosophila larvae to visualize and quantify neurodegeneration of motor neurons at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) of third instar larvae.
