Presentation description

The mammalian activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein (ARC) gene is expressed in neurons and is known to regulate different neuronal processes such as memory formation. The function in fruit flies is still unknown. We use immunohistochemistry, a technique that utilizes antibodies to bind to specific proteins, to visualize the location of arc proteins in the brain. Our data has shown that dArc1is expressed in a subset of serotonin neurons
