Loss of neurofibromin alters adult metabolism via effects during a developmental critical period

Catherine Steele, Ryan J. Weaver, Seth M. Tomchik

This study shows that loss of Nf1 in neurons during a critical developmental period causes adult metabolic changes in Drosophila, without affecting mitochondrial function.
