A two-choice assay for noxious light avoidance with temporal distribution analysis in Drosophila melanogaster larvae

Summary: Two-choice assays allow assessing of different behaviors including light avoidance in Drosophila larvae. Typically, the readout is limited to a preference index at a specific end point. We provide a detailed protocol to set up light avoidance assays and map the temporal distribution of larv...
