Recently I measured the optomotor response in T4/T5 flies. As expected, they did not respond to the optomotor stimulus as seen in the left chart below. However, statistical evaluation struggles to quantify this difference. It might be that this is because of the low sample size, or that we are using the wrong statistical analysis?

The signal is drifting again. Also adding a spacer between clamp and device is not solving it, but making the signal more noisy.

I would say that the FoxP-iIR do not act as a transcription factor, due to the fact that the FH domain is not complete and the intron do not participate in the FH sequence
