Information processing by graded-potential transmission through tonically active synapses

M Juusola, AS French, RO Uusitalo… - Trends in neurosciences, 1996 - cell.com
Many neurons use graded membrane-potential changes, instead of action potentials, to
transmit information. Traditional synaptic models feature discontinuous transmitter release by …

Phototransduction in drosophila

RC Hardie, M Juusola - Current opinion in neurobiology, 2015 - Elsevier
… This suggests that MyoIII sequesters Arr2 in the dark preventing it from binding to M*, but
that as soon as the quantum bump is initiated, Ca 2+ influx promotes release of Arr2, which …

Compound eyes and retinal information processing in miniature dipteran species match their specific ecological demands

…, TJ Wardill, M Juusola - Proceedings of the …, 2011 - National Acad Sciences
The compound eye of insects imposes a tradeoff between resolution and sensitivity, which
should exacerbate with diminishing eye size. Tiny lenses are thought to deliver poor acuity …

[HTML][HTML] Normal mitochondrial dynamics requires rhomboid-7 and affects Drosophila lifespan and neuronal function

…, JR Lee, L Zheng, M Juusola, M Freeman - Current Biology, 2006 - cell.com
In addition to being energy generators, mitochondria control many cellular processes including
apoptosis [1]. They are dynamic organelles, and the machinery of membrane fusion and …
