A novel method of cocaine delivery to fruit flies using a graphic arts airbrush.

Journal of neuroscience methods - 30 Jan 2005

Lease Kevin A, Hirsh Jay

Abstract excerpt

The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is a model system for studying pathways regulating responses to cocaine. We describe a new method for delivering cocaine to Drosophila. Freebase cocaine dissolved in ethanol is sprayed onto cold-anaesthetized flies using a graphic arts airbrush modified to reproducibly control the drug dosage. Cocaine dose response curves were generated to characterize the behavioral...
