Title
Dopamine Influence on Behavior Change in Fruit Flies
Creator
Subject
Description
Dopamine levels in fruit flies have been linked to a number of specific mutations that have influenced acquired and learned behavior. Increased dopamine levels have altered normal behavior patterns in that they have been found to decrease in offspring larval locomotion. The purpose of this research is to identify locomotion activity in offspring of fruit flies with different dopamine levels through several generations, as well as to identify the boundary at which dopamine influences different locomotion activities between fruit fly (parents) and larvae (offspring). To conduct this experiment, several mortality and locomotion assays will be utilized to examine dopamine influence in kavalactones and determine specific behaviors it inhibits or initiates., Honors Thesis Advisor : Dr. Louise Nicholson, PhD.
