A Tripartite Synapse Model in Drosophila
Figure 4
Glial coupling of synapses to trachea mediating gas exchange.
(A) Confocal immunofluorescence images of DLM neuromuscular synapses as described in Figure 1. (B) Visualization of trachea by autofluorescence and (C) their association with glial processes and coupling to presynaptic boutons. (D) Three dimensional model of tripartite synapse interactions (generated with the Software package, Imaris).
