The molecular mechanisms that achieve homeostatic stabilization of neural function remain largely unknown. To help understand how neural function is stabilized during development and throughout life we used an electrophysiology-based forward genetic screen and assessed the function of over 250 neuronally expressed genes for a role in the homeostatic modulation of synaptic transmission in Drosophila. This screen ruled out the involvement of numerous synaptic proteins and identified a critical function for dysbindin, a gene linked to schizophrenia in human. Dysbindin was essential, presynaptically, for the retrograde, homeostatic modulation of neurotransmission. Dysbindin functioned in a dose-dependent manner downstream or independently of calcium influx. Thus, Dysbindin is essential for adaptive neural plasticity, and may link altered homeostatic signaling with a complex neurological disease.
