Drosophila responses to benzaldehyde in one quadrant (darken corner) of the passive flow odour plate in the Zantiks MWP unit. One quadrant has benzaldehyde in - and the flies crowd opposite it!
Drosophila responses to control (mineral oil) and treatment (benzaldehyde) in the Zantiks MWP unit in an active flow chamber. Labelling of the video, and switching of the odour sources is fully automated from the Zanscript running the experiment. Sped up x2
The vertical distribution and the distance moved was recorded simultaneously. The response to vibration stimuli was also assessed. The vibration is indicated in this video by a red square in the top left corner.
The time at which stimuli is delivered is indicated by a red number at the top left of the video. The 60 seconds between stimuli has been sped up in this video. (Video courtesy of Prof Matt Guille's lab, University of Portsmouth)
Video (speed, 8x) of zebrafish larvae in a 24-well plate before, during and after a single pulse of mild vibratory stimulation. The red dot in the top right hand side of the video frame depicts when the vibration occurs.
