Not many fliers left now. Will start evaluating optomotor asymmetry now.

With the modified laser settings I was able to test 3 more wtb. Here are the results:

–> yaw torque

Just to have an example of yaw torque datasets and how they should avoid:

Before collecting the actual data I make sure that the flight simulator in the basement does its thing ;) Here are the test runs with wtb flies for different protocols:

—>> yaw torque

–>> switch mode

–>> habit formation

Finally have about half the number of flies needed. It looked like the flies that used the FoxP virgins didn’t fly as well as the other flies, so we dropped that branch and have stopped using them for the crosses. Pooling the FoxP>aPKC/CRISPR flies no increases the N in this group:

Added more flies to the aPKC knock-out in FoxP neurons. Now the knock-outs are close to zero, but one of the controls, too. Still too early to say much. The figure looks ok now, but the Bayes Factors get chopped off. need to fix this. As I’m, already working on some figures (histograms) in the code, I can fix this as well.

Firstly, I did an experiment where Dop1R1 was knocked down via RNAi. The following shows the results:

For the next experiment, the controls groups were the same, however in the experimental group Amon was down regulated. These are the results:

Lastly, in the course the data for the larvae experiment was collected only under blue light, so I used the same crossings and tested them under red light to use as a control.

When Andi tested his aPKC CRISPR knock-outs, he used the Tang torque meter setup, where the OMRs aren’t recorded. So I’m attempting to replicate his results and compare OMRs between groups.

It looks like I need to tweak the graph in some way to make the density plots show up. Obviously, N is too low to say anything yet, but I need to work on the plot.

All figures show the results for preference tests (salt/pure) conducted under red and blue light for different gal4-lines.

SS01716:

SS02180:

The first figure shows the results for the preference test (salt/pure) conducted with amon-RNAi only under red light.

For the next experiment I conducted the same preference test but with the split-gal4 line MB143B under red and blue light.
