(DURIP 16) Imaging Brain Activity from Freely Behaving Drosophila

Abstract

The equipment being asked for is intended to be used to link behavior to neural activity. The current capability to do so does not exist because of unnatural environment (restraint), lack of properly measured brain area, complexity of task and focus on specific brain region. Using fruit flies with their small brain enables us to start to get a fix on monitoring the entire brain.
