Phototactic flexibility – Neural substrates

In order to find which dopaminergic and octopaminergic neurons are related to light preference and the switch on it seen after clipping the wings, I decided to use a tool called CaLexA.
Here we can see my first attempt to use it. We can see the CNS from TH>CaLexA flies with and without wings.
I did not see any special signal in the brains, but I still have to play around a little bit more.
With Wings
