Endocytosis dependent critical periods mediated proper giant fiber escape circuit development in Drosophila melanogaster

Neurons extend processes that navigate to their synaptic target via a continuous sampling of guidance molecules and selective adhesion. In the Drosophila CNS, two large inter-neurons (the giant fibers) send their axons from the brain to the middle of the thorax, where each forms a large lateral syna...
