Methods for quantifying simple gravity sensing in Drosophila melanogaster.

Nature protocols - 1 Jan 2010

Inagaki Hidehiko K, Kamikouchi Azusa, Ito Kei

Abstract excerpt

Perception of gravity is essential for animals: most animals possess specific sense organs to detect the direction of the gravitational force. Little is known, however, about the molecular and neural mechanisms underlying their behavioral responses to gravity. Drosophila melanogaster, having a rather simple nervous system and a large variety of molecular genetic tools available, serves as an ideal model for...
