A new assay for the genetic study of general anesthesia in Drosophila melanogaster: use in analysis of mutations in the X-chromosomal 12E region.

Journal of neurogenetics - 1 Apr 2000

Guan Z, Scott R L, Nash H A

Abstract excerpt

We describe a new measure of the influence of general anesthetics on Drosophila that uses the robust tendency of fruit flies to briskly walk upwards after being tapped down. We expose flies to a fixed concentration of anesthetic gas in a 50 ml tube for a period of up to 1 h and then test the distribution of flies in the tube shortly after tapping them to its bottom. By measuring the effect of a series of...
