Saggio olfattometro a quattro modi: un metodo per valutare le risposte di Odorant-Cued in Drosophila
Published: April 30, 2023
Abstract
Fonte: Lin, C.C., et al. J. Vis. Exp. (2016).
I moscerini della frutta hanno un complesso sistema olfattivo, possono discriminare centinaia di odori e usare il loro senso dell’olfatto per dirigere le decisioni comportamentali. Questo video descrive il saggio olfattometro a quattro modi, un metodo per studiare le risposte comportamentali olfattive nelle mosche. La clip del protocollo in primo piano mostra come gestire le mosche di prova e quali sono i passaggi critici durante l’esecuzione del test.
Protocol
Questo protocollo è un estratto da Lin et al., Olfactory Behaviors Assayed by Computer Tracking Of Drosophila in a Four-quadrant Olfactometer, J. Vis. Exp. (2016). 1. Risposte comportamentali agli odoranti attraenti e repellenti Accendere il regolatore di temperatura e impostarlo su 25 °C. Collegare le camere odoranti (odori di controllo e prova) inserendo il tubo all’uscita della camera di odoro e al raccordo push-to-connect sulla scatola di co…
Representative Results
Figura 1: Dati di esempio generati utilizzando un saggio olfattivo a quattro campi. (A) Schema dell’arena a quattro campi. (B) Le risposte neutre si osservano quando tutti e quattro i quadranti contengono solo perfusione di aria secca. (C) Risposte di attrazione ad una diluizione del 6,25% dell’aceto di sidro di mele perfuso dal quadrante superiore sinistro. (D</s…
