TY - THES AB - Astrocytes are a type of central nervous system glia that have critical roles within the brain, including supporting synapse formation, synaptic transmission, and maintaining proper circuit function. Using the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster as a model system, we investigated the effects of knocking down slowpoke (slo) on astrocyte morphology and circuit function.
