Which statement regarding this exercise is TRUE? (dros) Answer: We
will be working with four types of flies. One line expresses channel
rhodopsin in all glutamate neurons, including those which innervate
the abdominal muscles. Another line expresses GFP in all glutamate
neurons, including those which innervate the abdominal muscles.
Another line expresses channel rhodopsin in all glutamate neurons,
including those which innervate the abdominal muscles and GFP in the
muscles. The last line is a wildtype line of flies.
The muscles that we are recording from are located on which surface
of the animal? (dros) Answer: Ventral
In this exercise, what will you directly be recording with the electrode?
