Abstract excerpt
Decline of locomotor function is a prominent feature of aging in most species. We previously described a series of metrical analyses for quantifying functional declines associated with aging. Here, we have applied these metrics to elucidate differences in the nature of locomotor senescence between Drosophila cohorts from four different genetic backgrounds (Canton-S, Oregon-R, Samarkand and Lausanne-S) and two...
