Abstract

A. Proboscis extension response assay. One to two days old CantonS flies of mixed gender were starved for the indicated time with ad libitum access to water. Four hours before testing, they were glued to a copper hook between head and thorax. For the test, the hook was fixed to clamp which was attached to a rack. In this locomotion-independent assay, all tarsi can be stimulated with no stress or ...
