Data sets pooled
on Thursday, May 8th, 2025 8:01 | by Björn Brembs
I managed to write some code that shortens Tina’s optomotor periods and then adjusted the metadata between our experiments so that the script would run without any errors. So this is what our combined tests of expressing the foraging RNAi in all neurons looks like:

The full dataset is also available on the UR publication server.

Self-learning, 8 minutes training, elav-Gal4>UAS-for-RNAi

It seems that panneuronal downregulation of the expression of the foraging gene impairs yow torque learning when flies were trained for 8 minutes.

Food manipulation, starvation and density experiment
on Monday, March 1st, 2021 12:41 | by Simon Benmaamar
1. Food manipulation new



2. Starvation



Control: larvae were taken directly out of food and tested. Sucrose: larvae were allowed to roam freely for 2 hours in a 6 cm petri dish containing 350 µl of 0,2 M sucrose added to a piece of Kim wipe and then were tested. Starved: larvae were allowed to roam freely for 2 hours in a 6 cm petri dish containing 350 µl of 0,2 M dH20 added to a piece of Kim wipe and then were tested.
Distance by time plot

3. Density



Standard: about 15 female flies per vile. Low Density: about 5 female flies per vile. High Density: about 30 or more female flies per vile.

Larval food manipulation evaluation
on Monday, February 8th, 2021 1:28 | by Simon Benmaamar
1. Food Patch

Significant difference between Rover and Sitter in Standard_new (wilcox.test, p=0.01057), Carbohydrates (wilcox.test, p= 0.0002445), Starch (wilcox.test, p-value = 0.03431) and Yeast (wilcox.test, p = 0.001455)
2. Distance Tracking

No significant difference between Rover and Sitter in Standard_new (t-test, p =0.08108), Carbohydrates (t-test, p=0.09875),
