Fig. 5: Identification of neural circuits that modulate the making of complex VBFD.
From: Assessing the cognitive status of Drosophila by the value-based feeding decision
a–c, e VBFD assays (150 mM sucrose vs. 150 mM arabinose) were performed in female flies that have reduced activity in (a) gustatory receptor neurons (Gr5a-Gal4 and Gr66a-Gal4), (b) mushroom body neurons (MB247-Gal4 and OK107-Gal4), (c) feeding behavior modulating neurons (TH-Gal4 and NPF-Gal4), and (e) Gr43a-positive neurons (Gr43aGal4). d VBFD assays were performed in female Gr43a mutants (Gr43aGal4) at 25 °C. Results were expressed as means ± SEM and analyzed by two-way ANOVA. n = 100 for each condition. Note all the columns of UAS-shits/+ were the same. In a–c, e, the flies were reared at 23 °C until 1 h before the VBFD assay (32 °C). The statistical significance was assessed by the comparison to UAS-shits/+ controls. In (d), the flies were reared at 25 °C and the VBFD assays were performed at 25 °C. The statistical significance was assessed by the comparison to w1118. *p < 0.01.
