Glutamate receptor composition at <i>Drosophila</i> neuromuscular junctions depends on developmental stage and muscle identity
The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) of larval Drosophila is widely used for studying synaptic transmission. Larval body wall muscles express five ionotropic glutamate receptor (iGluR) subunits that assemble into two tetrameric complexes, with subunit composition determining the strength and plasticity of synaptic transmission. Because NMJ function has been extensively characterized in larvae, it has…
