Studying Unknown Elements of Neuronal and Microtubule Response to Injury in Drosophila Using Laser Microsurgery and Fluorescence Microscopy

by Sophia Gabriella Llanos Landaeta, Rachel Swope and Matthew Keegan

In this poster, we specifically look at the microtubule responses to neuronal injuries when heat and excessive force are involved to mimic different types of injuries, continue to identify proteins involved in dendrite injury pathways so as to map out dendritic injury response more thoroughly and elucidate the role of cAMP in dendritic injury as exploring the relationship between Calcium level changes and cAMP level changes in response to different injury types.
