Detection of early locomotor abnormalities in a Drosophila model of Alzheimer's disease
11 Feb 2011
Abstract excerpt
Behavioural assays represent sensitive methods for detecting neuronal dysfunction in model organisms. A number of manual methods have been established for Drosophila, however these are time-consuming and generate parameter-poor phenotype descriptors. Here, we have developed an automated computer vision system to monitor accurately the three-dimensional locomotor trajectories of flies. This approach allows the...
