Mushroom body output neurons encode valence and guide memory-based action selection in Drosophila (2014, methodology): “…old adult males of each genotype were wet starved for 1–4 hr and then were assayed for 22 parameters of basic locomotion in response to startle, optomotor and phototaxis stimuli using an apparatus (Fly Behavioral Olympiad, unpublished) inspired by published assays (Benzer, 1967; Zhu et al., 2009).”
Peripheral visual circuits functionally segregate motion and phototaxis behaviors in the fly. (2009, unknown): “Small vibrating motors evoke a startle response in the flies, which may enhance their sensitivity and performance [35].”
Rapid Consolidation to a radish and Protein Synthesis-Dependent Long-Term Memory after Single-Session Appetitive Olfactory Conditioning in Drosophila (2008, methodology): “We assayed fast phototaxis in a countercurrent apparatus (Benzer, 1967) using a simplified protocol of that described.”
The GTPase dMiro is required for axonal transport of mitochondria to Drosophila synapses. (2005, unknown): “Since “blindness” is caused by a loss of either phototransduction, nerve excitation, or synaptic F ( function, we screened for “blind” flies by assaying the u phototactic behavioral response of Drosophila, using m the “counter-current apparatus” (Benzer, 1967).”
Drosophila strategies to study psychiatric disorders. (2013, background): “Around the time when Drosophila mutagenesis was increasingly being applied to understanding physical phenotypes, Benzer and colleagues realized that this same approach could be used to link individual genes with behaviours [12] such as circadian activity rhythms [92] and olfactory learning and memor”
