N-β-alanyldopamine metabolism, locomotor activity and sleep in Drosophila melanogaster ebony and tan mutants
(John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2015-06)
Drosophila melanogaster Meigen mutants for N-β-alanyldopamine (NBAD) metabolism have altered levels of NBAD, dopamine and other neurotransmitters. The ebony1 mutant strain has very low levels of NBAD and higher levels of ...
Contribution of non-circadian neurons to the temporal organization of locomotor activity
(Company of Biologists, 2019-01)
In the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, the daily cycle of rest and activity is a rhythmic behavior that relies on the activity of a small number of neurons. The small ventral lateral neurons (sLNvs) are considered key ...
Effects of breeding resource and environmental temperature on adult locomotor activity in cactophilic Drosophila
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2022-04)
The evolution of insects inhabiting arid environments is heavily shaped by resource scarcity and temperature. Ecological interdependence could be tight and complex as in the model cactus–yeast–Drosophila. Cactophilic species ...
The use of actometry and electronic nose devices to assess the locomotor activity of two species of Coccinellidae (Coleoptera)
(Pontificia Universidad Católica Chile, 2011-07)
The effect of odor signals on the locomotor activity of Cycloneda sanguinea and Harmonia axyridis was evaluated using two different actometric devices. The purpose of the analysis was to differentiate between the responses ...
Ethanol induces locomotor activating effects in preweanling Sprague-Dawley rats
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2009-02)
Abuse of drugs exerts biphasic motor activity effects, which seem to be associated with their motivational effects. In the case of ethanol, heterogenous rat strains appear to be particularly sensitive to the sedative effects ...
Role of dopamine D1-like receptors in methamphetamine locomotor responses of D2 receptor knockout mice
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2008-07)
Behavioral sensitization to psychostimulants manifests as an increased locomotor response with repeated administration. Dopamine systems are accepted to play a fundamental role in sensitization, but the role of specific ...
Role of the circadian clock in the statistics of locomotor activity in Drosophila
(Public Library of Science, 2018-08)
In many animals the circadian rhythm of locomotor activity is controlled by an endogenous circadian clock. Using custom made housing and video tracking software in order to obtain high spatial and temporal resolution, we ...
Locomotor behaviour of Blattella germanica modified by DEET
(Public Library of Science, 2013-12-23)
N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (DEET) is the active principle of most insect repellents used worldwide. However, its toxicity on insects has not been widely studied. The aim of this work is to study the effects of DEET on ...
A Brainstem Locomotor Circuit Drives the Activity of Speed Cells in the Medial Entorhinal Cortex
(Elsevier Science, 2020-09)
Locomotion activates an array of sensory inputs that may help build the self-position map of the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC). In this map, speed-coding neurons are thought to dynamically update representations of the ...
Ethanol-induced locomotor activity in adolescent rats and the relationship with ethanol-induced conditioned place preference and conditioned taste aversion
(Wiley, 2012-05)
Adolescent rats exhibit ethanol-induced locomotor activity (LMA), which is considered an index of ethanol's motivational properties likely to predict ethanol self-administration, but few studies have reported or correlated ...
