Previous explorations into the functions of the FNE protein have been limited to neurons. The function of fne in Drosophila glia remains unclear. We induced the knockdown or overexpression of fne in Drosophila neurons and glia to determine how fne affects different types of behaviors, neuronal transmission and the lifespan. Our data indicate that changes in fne expression impair associative learning, thermal nociception, and phototransduction.
