MBON screen progress 18.05.2026

on Monday, May 18th, 2026 12:32 | by Fridrik Kjartansson

PI- values for world learning torque experiments. As usual the flies were tethered and subjected to adverse stimuli by laser dependent on torque domain, which also controlled arena color. Flies that show positive PI at the end indicate premature habit formation as WT flies don’t learn under these conditions in this time frame.

Same as above except the pretest preference has been subtraced

Current p-values for all the tested groups. Should be 25-30 flies at trial end.

MBON screen progress 11.05.2026

PI-values unsubtracted:

Results from premature habit formation torque measurements of four *drosophila* crosses: MB399B, MB050B & MB027B gal4 driver lines crossed with UAS-Tetanus toxin lines and Wild type Berlin crossed with UAS-TnT as control. Which line is which is still unknown as the screen is incomplete and researcher must remain blind. It appears two crosses strongly form habits prematurely, one doesn’t and one is still on the borderline.

PI-values subtracted:

Same results as above except with pretest bias subtracted.

p-values:

MBON02 trans-tango image from Kaun Lab. Left image shows trans-tango signal in red, right image shows overlay of all channels (green for MBON02, red for trans-tango, blue for nc82):

My MBON02 trans-tango images stained with anti-HA instead of anti-RFP. Flies generated by crossing trans-tango mkII line (BDSC: 95317) with MB399B (Brembslab stock number: 319). Left shows trans-tango signal in green, right shows overlay of al channels (green for trans-tango, blue for MBON02, red for nc82):

Staining done by anti-GFP (MBON02), anti-RFP (post-synaptic cells), nc82 (for background stainingm not shown here). MBON02 cells are clearly visible on green channel but there is no clear cell signal on red channel (MBON02 in green channel, postsynaptic cells in red channel).
