Gravitaxis in Drosophila melanogaster: a forward genetic screen.

Genes, brain, and behavior - 1 Apr 2006

Armstrong J D, Texada M J, Munjaal R, Baker D A, Beckingham K M

Abstract excerpt

Perception of the earth's gravitational force is essential for most forms of animal life. However, little is known of the molecular mechanisms and neuronal circuitry underlying gravitational responses. A forward genetic screen using Drosophila melanogaster that provides insight into these characteristics is described here. Vertical choice mazes combined with additional behavioral assays were used to identify...
