The flight nervous system of Drosophila is a suitable system for the study of neurogenetics. Since Hotta and Benzer isolated and described flightless mutations wings up A and wings up B in 1972, many flightless mutati...
A general approach to behavior genetics is to use a chemical mutagen, ethyl methanesulphonate (EMS), for mutagenesising point mutations, to devise a tester for screening a behavior mutant, to map the mutant sites in c...
