Behavioral genetics of thermosensation and hygrosensation in Drosophila.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 11 Jun 1996

Sayeed O, Benzer S

Abstract excerpt

Whereas temperature and humidity are critical variables affecting physiology, behavior, and evolution, the genetic and neuronal underpinnings of thermosensation and hygrosensation remain poorly understood. We have initiated a behavioral-genetic investigation of these sensory systems in Drosophila. Behavioral tests are described for the rapid screening of mutants defective in thermosensation and hygrosensation. We...
