An automated climbing apparatus to measure chemotherapy-induced neurotoxicity in<i>Drosophila melanogaster</i>
14 Jun 2013
Abstract excerpt
We have developed a novel model system in Drosophila melanogaster to study chemotherapy-induced neurotoxicity in adult flies. Neurological deficits were measured using a manual geotactic climbing assay. The manual assay is commonly used; however, it is laborious, time-consuming, subject to human error and limited to observing one sample at a time. We have designed and built a new automated fly-counting apparatus...
