Abstract
出典: Lin, C.C. 他の 嗅覚行動 4象限オルファクトメーターにおける ショウジョウバエ のコンピュータ追跡によってアッセイ. J. ヴィス・エクス (2016).
フルーツハエは複雑な嗅覚システムを持ち、何百もの臭気を区別し、嗅覚を使って行動の決定を指示することができます。このビデオでは、ハエの嗅覚行動応答を研究する方法である4ウェイ嗅覚計アッセイについて説明します。注目のプロトコルクリップは、テストハエを処理する方法と、アッセイを実行しながら重要なステップを示しています。
Protocol
このプロトコルは、Linらからの抜粋であり、4象限のオルファクトメーター 、J.Vis.Exp.(2016)におけるショウジョウバエのコンピュータ追跡によってアッセイされた嗅覚行動。 1. 魅力と忌避臭気への行動応答 温度コントローラの電源を入れ、25°Cに設定します。 臭気室の出口にチューブを挿入し、行動ボックスにプッシュ接続フィッティ?…
