Enzyme null alleles in natural populations of Drosophila melanogaster: Frequencies in a North Carolina population.

abstract：:Dendritic spines receive most synaptic inputs in the forebrain. Their morphology, with a spine head isolated from the dendrite by a slender neck, indicates a potential role in isolating inputs. Indeed, biochemical compartmentalization occurs at spine heads because of the diffusional bottleneck created by the spine nec...
