    • A Functional Characterisation of Drosophila Chordotonal Organs 

      Wiek, Robert Jago (2013-06-27)
      Functional properties of the Drosophila FCO (femoral chordotonal organ) can be dissected by use of the Gal4-UAS system in combination with transcuticular in vivo Calcium imaging. As sinusoidal stimulation at relative ...
    • Analyzing receptor responses in the Drosophila Johnston's organ with two-photon microscopy 

      Jähde, Philipp (2017-07-31)
      Hearing organs rely on force-gated ion channels to convert the mechanical energy imposed by sound into receptor potentials usable by the nervous system. So far, little is known about the identity and working mechanisms of ...
    • Axonemal dyneins and force generation by neurons in Drosophila melanogaster ear 

      Karak, Somdatta (2014-05-26)
      Analogous to vertebrate hair cells, the mechanosensory cilia of Drosophila auditory neurons are motile and serve dual, transducing and actuating roles. Structurally, the latter cilia resemble non-motile primary cilia, ...
    • Gene Ontology-based framework to annotate genes of hearing 

      Ovezmyradov, Guvanchmyrat (2013-10-22)
      As the number of discovered deafness genes and our knowledge about their role in hearing continuously increases, the need to accurately manage this genetic information is becoming more apparent. Gene Ontology (GO) is a ...
    • Genetics of Drosophila hearing 

      Piepenbrock, David (2013-10-04)
      By probing Johnston’s organ function in mutant fly strains, mutations in forty-four genes that affect Drosophila hearing have been identified. This result increases the list of genes that are known for audition by 180 % ...
    • Linking senses: the genetics of Drosophila larval chordotonal organs 

      Giraldo Sanchez, Diego Alejandro (2018-08-06)
      Sensory systems have evolved in all organisms to detect changes in the environment or their internal state. Even though they are essential for fitness and survival, their phylogenisis is still unclear. The protosensory ...
    • Probing roles of TRPML in Drosophila hearing 

      Joo, Seol-hee (2016-01-15)
      Several transient receptor potential (TRP) channels have been implicated in Drosophila hearing, including the TRPN channel NOMPC, the TRPVs Nan and Iav, and the TRPA members Pyx and Pain. Here I report that fly hearing ...
    • Thermosensory Transduction Mechanisms in Drosophila melanogaster 

      Kossen, Robert (2019-10-18)
      Ambient temperature has an profound effect in the physiology of all animals and accurate evaluation of both external and internal temperatures is therefore an essential factor for fitness and survival. To this end, animals ...
