About this item
The Drosophila Maze Array is designed to study locomotor behavior in Drosophila.
- Each array is well lit in this configuration
- Multiple arrays possible including Y, T, +, and -
- Customized array shapes are available upon request
Locomotor behavior is a form of behavioral handedness, or the preferential performance of behavior on one side of the body or with a particular chiral twist (Buchanan, 2015). This locomotor handedness is not related to a genetic dominance or morphological asymmetry. Instead, it is related to the asymmetric involved in the collection and processing of sensory information by the subject. In the Drosophila Maze Array, light and different pattern configurations are used to study how specific sensory exposures affect locomotive behavior.
The Y-Maze Array configuration is an efficient test to evaluate the chemosensory responses in Drosophila (Simonnet, 2014). The T-Maze Array configuration can be utilized to test memory (Malik, 2014) and phototaxic reflex in adult flies (Swinderen, 2011). By studying Drosophila locomotor behavior using the different maze array configurations, one can start to understand and analyze the variability in physiological, morphological, and behaviors exhibited by Drosophila that have grown up in identical environments (Buchanan, 2015).
