T-maze experiment with yellow and red lights. Graph shows “Mean Performance Index” for NorpA-UAS-Chrimson/Gr28bd-TrpA1 Flies. Comparison between yellow and red lights. Flies were given ATR-treated foods for 2day (n=10).

The T-Maze experiments : Middle analysis and Correlation plot

The mean ratio of the flies that stay in the middle during the experiments.

Correlation plot between the mean ratio of the flies that stay in the middle versus the Weighted PIs

Slope = 0.0053
Intercept = 0.240
R square value = -0.03834

contrary to the expectations, there seems to be no correlation .

the first graph shows Bar plot of Mean and standard deviation of PIs for Genetic control (n=9) and Positive control (n=5).
The second graph shows weighted mean and weighted standard deviation of the same.

Weighted mean is calculated by multiplying the weights (total number of flies in that experiment/total number of flies in all the experiments) with the PI for that experiment, and taking the sum thereafter for all the experiments.

Update: Looking for the DA & OA neurons involved in phototactic flexibility

These are the newst results of my screen. There are some interesting candidates, but it’s still too soon to conclued something.

Looking for the DA & OA neurons involved in phototactic flexibility

on Monday, September 21st, 2015 2:41 | by

After using TH-G4 and TDC2-G4 to prove that dopamine and octopamine are involved in phototactic switch after wing clipping, I decided to find which neurons in particular are playing this particular role. Therefore, I started a few small screens with the GAL4s and LexAs available for these groups of neurons. I crossed the drivers to shibire to assess their role. For every graph blue means RT, and red means 32°C.
