The offspring of my first experimental fly cohort finally hatched! Below you find a few first pre-tests I ran last week :)
First, here are the results of a quick test to see if the offspring shows a preference for the parentally trained side after the first training period:

After that I played around with the laser a little bit to find the learning threshhold. I set the laser on 2,6V but the results I got look a bit weird:

-> offspring of trained wtb flies
I´m optimistic however there is still a lot of work to do…
