What is the Drosophila Maze Array?

The Drosophila Maze Array studies locomotor behavior using interchangeable maze geometries — Y, T, Plus, and Minus configurations — each probing different aspects of spatial cognition. Sloped sigmoid-style ceilings restrict vertical movement for accurate overhead tracking.

ConductVision quantifies total turns, directional counts, turn bias scores, and locomotor handedness. Light and pattern manipulations allow researchers to dissect how sensory exposures influence movement decisions.
