A pair of ascending neurons in the subesophageal zone mediates aversive sensory inputs-evoked backward locomotion in Drosophila larvae

A pair of ascending neurons in the subesophageal zone mediates aversive sensory inputs-evoked backward locomotion in Drosophila larvae

Animals generally avoid an unwanted situation by escaping stereotype behavior. For example, Drosophila larvae often escape from aversive stimuli in the head, such as mechanical stimuli and blue light irradiation, …

Protective effect of Catharanthus roseus plant extracts against endosulfan and its isomers induced impacts on non-targeted insect model, Drosophila melanogaster and live brain cell imaging

Protective effect of Catharanthus roseus plant extracts against endosulfan and its isomers induced impacts on non-targeted insect model, Drosophila melanogaster and live brain cell imaging

Endosulfan has been recognized as a pesticide which is highly controversial because of the acute toxicity, potential for bioaccumulation, persistence and long-range atmospheric transport. Some plant extracts act as an …
