T-maze (dark-light condition) test results

on Monday, December 11th, 2023 2:40 | by

The flies without curly (straight wings) for the line NorpA;20xUAS-Chrimson were tested in T-maze in dark-light conditions. The tests were conducted on 23 November, 27th November, and 29th November 2023. 8 tests were done for each pink and green line; hence a total of 16 tests were conducted. A total of 273 flies and 233 flies were tested for pink line and green line respectively.

Testing CaLexA

Here I used the CaLexA tool with the elav driver, and reared the flies on constant darkness or under L-D cycles.

OA and photopreference

on Monday, October 16th, 2017 2:14 | by

Here I tested two common OA drivers in photopreference. Although the results are not conclusive, there could be something there.

Yellow: 25°C

Green: 32°C

This is a new try to set up the CaLexA technique.

Sensory input and photopreference

on Monday, September 11th, 2017 11:41 | by

To begin studying the sensory input related to photopreference shift after wing clipping, I decided to test some propioception mutants. Here are the first results.

Green: Intact flies

Yellow: Wing-clipped flies

Optogenetics (Blue and UV light in photopreference)

Optogenetics and photopreference

on Monday, July 24th, 2017 10:39 | by

I am still trying to set up the optogenetics tools for my photopreference assay. These are the results so far. I combined the result obtained with Chrimson in the second chromosome and in the X chromosome, because they were identical.

Blue: only blue light.

Red: Blue light + pulsed red light.

 

 

I think Chrimson is already activated under my blue light condition.

Photopreference and Speed

This is something we talk last week. Here are the results for Speed and Stripe Deviation in the Buridan.

 

Optogenetics in Photopreference (Pretests)

On this opportunity, I changed the size of the tubes in order to see if that has a impact on the proportion of flies that ended in the elevator.
