Neural Control of Startle-Induced Locomotion by the Mushroom Bodies and Associated Neurons in Drosophila

Neural Control of Startle-Induced Locomotion by the Mushroom Bodies and Associated Neurons in Drosophila

Startle-induced locomotion is commonly used in Drosophila research to monitor locomotor reactivity and its progressive decline with age or under various neuropathological conditions. A widely used paradigm is startle-induced negative geotaxis (SING), in which flies entrapped in a narrow column react...
