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. 000008619 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000008619 650__ $$aDrosophila melanogaster$$018059 000008619 650__ $$aBehavior$$015411 000008619 650__ $$aAstrocytes$$015172 000008619 650__ $$aRNA Interference$$034586 000008619 650__ $$aNeuroglia$$022841 000008619 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000008619 692__ $$aVollum Institute$$041509 000008619 7001_ $$aMathieson, Danielle$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$10000-0001-5650-0539 000008619 7201_ $$aFreeman, Marc$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor 000008619 8564_ $$9d93c995a-52aa-4eb3-afbc-bae31ebf1185$$s4330618$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/8619/files/Mathieson.Danielle.2020.pdf$$ePublic$$2addc2550d8ac4b9ecb8ac8d51e07da5b$$31 000008619 905__ $$a/rest/prod/zw/12/z5/98/zw12z598c 000008619 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:8619$$pstudent-work 000008619 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
