In our experiment, we aim to narrow down the set of proteins involved in dendrite regeneration by conducting an RNAi knockdown of proteins of interest individually in drosophila. Then, we will conduct a laser-induced point injury of the ddaE neuron of the larvae. After 24 hours, we will image the injured neuron and compare the regrowth observed to the regrowth observed in control larvae over the same period of time. This will give us insight into the specific kinases involved in the process of dendrite regeneration.
