Manipulation of an innate escape response in Drosophila: photoexcitation of acj6 neurons induces the escape response.

Manipulation of an innate escape response in Drosophila: photoexcitation of acj6 neurons induces the escape response.

The genetic analysis of behavior in Drosophila melanogaster has linked genes controlling neuronal connectivity and physiology to specific neuronal circuits underlying a variety of innate behaviors. We investigated the circuitry underlying the adult startle response, using photoexcitation of neurons...
