Extended Data Fig. 9: PU photo-stimulation outside the context of burrowing.
From: Flexible neural control of transition points within the egg-laying behavioral sequence in Drosophila
a, Representative ethograms of behavior surrounding a 20-s photo-stimulation pulse delivered at 90-s intervals, independent of the ongoing behavioral state of the fly (Methods). Ethogram depicts data from 16 flies (n = 6 events per fly). Horizontal black dotted lines demarcate data from different flies. The component actions are color coded as in Fig. 1c, and completed egg expulsion events (egg out) are indicated by a black ‘X’. Photo-stimulation did not induce an overt behavioral response with the exception of two out of the 96 events where egg expulsion was completed within the stimulation window and the animal reverted in the sequence (‘<’ symbols at the right indicates these two events). Here and in b, t = 0, photo-stimulation onset; red bar above plot and vertical dashed magenta lines, period of photo-stimulation. b, Time course of annotated behaviors depicted in a.
