Structural characterization of the alpha-glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase-encoding gene of Drosophila melanogaster.

abstract：:Mammalian nervous system function involves billions of neurons which are interconnected in a multitude of neural circuits. Here we describe a genetic approach to chart neural circuits. By using an olfactory-specific promoter, we selectively expressed barley lectin in sensory neurons in the olfactory epithelium and vom...
