RNAi-based screen for pigmentation in <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> reveals regulators of brain dopamine and sleep

2023-07-24

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> The dopaminergic system has been extensively studied for its role in behavior and neurological diseases. Despite this, we still know little about how dopamine levels are regulated in vivo . To identify regulators of dopamine, we utilized Drosophila melanogaster cuticle pigmentation as a readout, where dopamine is used as a precursor to melanin. We started by measuring dopamine from known pigmen...
