Dear people,  I am wondering if one needs to post the same figures in lab log as well lab meeting share page. I understand that important stuff goes to meeting site. But I would like to hyperlink the relevant figures I post in website in lab meeting page.

I had seen beautiful bell shaped distribution of torque (around 0) from the Heisenberg’s lab. We thus checked the data we have (the 6 minutes data we produced with the same flies for the torque meter and compensator. Data produced on the same day, or later (when sathish was mastering the preparation a bit better).
Here is the distributions:

Our distribution are close enough to the bell shape obtain by the Heisenberg’s group. The wing beat analyser seem to lead to different torque calculation, though.
PS: no difference seen in the frequency of spikes on the other hand.

small but significantly different from 0 slope in the S-Map procedure, both before and after self-learning.

No difference in the slope while comparing before and after learning for each fly.

n>130 for each group.

The new version of the analysis software is online. It should be clean and will be the version coming with the paper.

Right now I’m attending the Janelia Farm Conference “Learning and Memory: A Synthesis of Flies and Honeybees”. It covers all the latest research results relevant to our research here. Big themes, of course, are olfactory classical conditioning. In this learning paradigm the biogenic amines octopamine and dopamine are very important, so all the new tools to control and investigate these aminergic networks presented here are very relevant for Christine‘s project. I’m blogging about the meeting in more detail on my own blog, so you can follow all the action from there.

Let’s see how we can get this to look right eventually…
