Behavioral Assays for Fly Sleep Modulation

All behavioral tests were performed using individual male flies, unless otherwise indicated. Each fly was housed in a 65 × 5 mm glass tube containing 5% sucrose and 2% agar (behavior food). For amino acid supplements, the indicated amount of each amino acid was dissolved in the behavior food. For oral administration of GABA-T or GABA transporter inhibitors, 10 mM of EOS (Tokyo Chemical Industry) or 10 mg/ml of NipA (Sigma) was directly dissolved in the behavior food containing the indicated amount of threonine. For oral administration of GABA receptor agonists, 10 mg/ml of THIP (Tocris) or SKF-97541 (Tocris) stock solution was diluted into the behavior food at the indicated final concentration. Flies were fed on amino acid- and/or drug-containing behavior food in LD cycles at 25°C for 4.5 days. Locomotor activity was recorded using the DAM system (Trikinetics) and quantified by the number of infrared beam crosses per minute. Sleep bouts were defined as no activity for >5 min. Sleep parameters were analyzed using an Excel macro (Pfeiffenberger et al., 2010 (link)).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
