The Drosophila Shallow Maze Experience
Advancing Spatial Research in Fruit Flies
The Drosophila Shallow Chamber is used to study the locomotor behavior of single Drosophila melanogaster flies, interactions between pairs of flies, or the complex social interaction of individual flies behaving within large groups.
Unveiling Exploratory Behavior
Insights from the Drosophila Shallow Maze
Metrics ConductVision measures for the Drosophila Shallow Maze
Velocity & Distance Moved
Tracks each individual flyās velocity and total distance traveled, helping identify overall activity levels and motor function.
Activity Mapping
Measures time spent moving vs. still, orientation, body position, and thigmotaxis (wall-following behavior) to assess activity states and behavioral patterns.
Path Tracking
Visualizes the exact path taken by the fly throughout the maze, offering insights into spatial navigation and search strategy.
Social & Behavioral Analysis
Detects complex behaviors such as foraging, courtship, and grouping, offering valuable data on social interactions and decision-making.
Search Strategies
- Thigmotaxis: Flies stay near the arena wall. This behavior is often linked to anxiety or unfamiliar environments.
- Random Search: Movement appears unstructured, with no clear pattern or cue targetingātypical of early trials.
- Scanning: Focus is limited to the center zone, where visual cues are placed. Indicates a non-spatial response.
