Drosophila proboscis extension response and GCaMP imaging for assaying food appeal based on grittiness
Summary: Fruit flies sense the features of food that are driven by particle size, including smoothness versus grittiness, by deflection of sensilla decorating the labellum, and md-L neurons. We describe adaptation of the Drosophila proboscis extension response assay, including steps to perform the t...
