Ex Vivo Calcium Imaging for Visualizing Brain Responses to Endocrine Signaling in Drosophila

¹Division of Biological Science, Graduate School of Science, Nagoya University, ²Department of Molecular Genetics, Institute of Life Science, Kurume University

This paper describes a protocol for ex vivo calcium imaging of the Drosophila brain. In this method, natural or synthetic compounds can be applied to the buffer to test their ability to activate particular neurons in the brain.
