The small fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, has for over a
century now had a large impact on biological and biomedical
research; however, our knowledge of the fly brain has lagged
significantly behind our understanding of other aspects of its
development, physiology, and function. In The Making and Un-Making
of Neuronal Circuits in Drosophila, innovative expert
neuroscientists in the field present the ideas and concepts behind
the methods, tools, and tricks that are currently being utilized to
decode the secrets of this valuable insect's brain. Focused on the
concept of a neuronal circuit, defined as a series of synaptically
connected neurons subservient to a particular behavioral modality,
this volume contains chapters dealing with anatomical analysis with
a focus on cellular and sub-cellular morphologies. These detailed
approaches fall under the headings of "Physiology" and "Behavior",
conveniently divided the book into two sections. Written in the
easy-to-follow Neuromethods series format, this work provides the
kind of detailed description and implementation advice that is
crucial for getting optimal results. Inventive and accessible, The
Making and Un-Making of Neuronal Circuits in Drosophila provides
the information and tools necessary to carry out current
experiments and, more importantly, further advance the progress of
the Drosophila neurobiology field and neurobiology in general.
