Very excited to share our (@Landgraf10006, @cwbeetle, @CamZoology) @biorxivpreprint investigating reactive oxygen species as novel signals for activity-dependent structural #plasticity in the #Drosophila brain! It’s my first lead-author work! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Following increased neuronal activity, reactive oxygen species (ROS) mediate homeostatic reductions in dendritic arbor size and branching complexity. Here, we implicate the NADPH oxidase Dual Oxidase (Duox) as the source of this ROS.
