In this issue of Neuron, Bergquist and colleagues study a rapid form of presynaptic homeostatic regulation at the Drosophila neuromuscular junction. They show that the K(+) channel genes shal and shaker are reciprocally regulated in the central nervous system and suggest a hierarchical organization of intrinsic and synaptic homeostatic regulatory processes.
本期《神经元》杂志上,Bergquist 及其同事研究了果蝇肌神经接点的一种快速突触前同型调节形式。他们发现,钾离子通道基因 shal 和 shaker 在中枢神经系统中呈相互调节关系,并提出了内在和突触同型调节过程的层级组织概念。
