Analyse olfactomètre à quatre sens : une méthode pour évaluer les réponses odorantes-cued à Drosophila
Published: April 30, 2023
Abstract
Source : Lin, C.C., et autres comportements olfactifs assayed par suivi d’ordinateur de Drosophila dans un olfactometer de quatre quadrants. J. Vis. Exp. (2016).
Les mouches des fruits ont un système olfactif complexe, peuvent discriminer des centaines d’odorants et utiliser leur odorat pour diriger les décisions comportementales. Cette vidéo décrit l’analyse olfactomètre à quatre sens, une méthode pour étudier les réponses comportementales olfactives chez les mouches. Le clip de protocole en vedette montre comment gérer les mouches d’essai et quelles sont les étapes critiques lors de l’exécution de l’analyse.
Protocol
Ce protocole est un extrait de Lin et coll., Olfactory Behaviors Assayed by Computer Tracking Of Drosophila in a Four-quadrant Olfactometer, J. Vis. Exp. (2016). 1. Réponses comportementales auxodorants attrayants et répulsifs Allumez le contrôleur de température et réglez-le à 25 °C. Connectez les chambres odorantes (contrôle et test odorants) en insérant le tube à la sortie de la chambre odorante et au raccord push-to-connect sur la bo…
Representative Results
Figure 1 : Exemples de données générées à l’aide d’un essai olfactif à quatre champs. (A) Schéma de l’arène à quatre champs. (B) Des réponses neutres sont observées lorsque les quatre quadrants ne contiennent que de la perfusion d’air sec. (C) Réponses d’attraction à une dilution de 6,25 % du vinaigre de cidre de pomme perfusé du quadrant supérieu…
