Ensaio do fatoômetro de quatro vias: um método para avaliar respostas odorant-cued em Drosophila
Published: April 30, 2023
Abstract
Fonte: Lin, C.C., et al. Olfactory Behaviors Assayed by Computer Tracking Of Drosophila in a Four-quadrant Olfactometer. J. Vis. Exp. (2016).
Moscas frutíferas têm um sistema olfativo complexo, podem discriminar centenas de odores, e usar seu olfato para direcionar decisões comportamentais. Este vídeo descreve o ensaio de fatoômetro de quatro vias, um método para estudar respostas comportamentais olfativas em moscas. O clipe de protocolo em destaque mostra como lidar com moscas de teste e quais são etapas críticas durante a execução do ensaio.
Protocol
Este protocolo é um trecho de Lin et al., Olfactory Behaviors Assayed by Computer Tracking Of Drosophila in a Four-quadrant Olfactometer, J. Vis. Exp. (2016). 1. Respostas comportamentais a odores atraentes e repelentes Ligue o controlador de temperatura e coloque-o a 25 °C. Conecte as câmaras odorantes (odores de controle e teste) inserindo a tubulação na saída da câmara odoante e ao encaixe push-to-connect na caixa de comportamento. …
Representative Results
Figura 1: Exemplos de dados gerados usando um ensaio olfativo de quatro campos. (A) Esquema da arena de quatro campos. (B) As respostas neutras são observadas quando todos os quatro quadrantes contêm apenas perfusão de ar seco. (C) Respostas de atração a uma diluição de 6,25% de vinagre de cidra de maçã perfumado do quadrante superior esquerdo. (D</strong…
