Validation of an Optogenetic Approach to the Study of Olfactory Behavior in the T-Maze of <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> Adults

Validation of an Optogenetic Approach to the Study of Olfactory Behavior in the T-Maze of <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> Adults

Optogenetics enables the alteration of neural activity using genetically targeted expression of light activated proteins for studying behavioral circuits in several species including <i>Drosophila</i>. The main idea behind this approach is to replace the native behavioral stimulus by the...
