The overall goal of this noxious cold assay is to be able to quantitate and assess changes in innocuous to noxious cold detection. This method can help answer key questions in the nociception field, including facilitating identification of novel,

Here we demonstrate a novel assay to study cold nociception in Drosophila larvae. This assay utilizes a custom-built Peltier probe capable of applying a focal noxious cold stimulus and results in quantifiable cold-specific behaviors. This technique will allow further cellular and molecular dissection of cold nociception.
