Salt avoidance
5 days old larvae (3rd instar) were tested for their salt (1.5 M) avoidance behavior. Dopaminergic neurons from the TH-D1 cluster were activated upon ChR2-XXL expression and blue light exposure, respectively.
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.
