Flypub To Study Ethanol Induced Behavioral Disinhibition and Sensitization

Nataly M. Delgado · Carmen Mariana Sierra · Abraham Arzola · Erick Benjamin Saldes · Kyung-An Han · Paul Rafael Sabandal

The paper describes a protocol for studying ethanol-related changes in courtship behavior in Drosophila melanogaster, including how responses change with repeated exposure.

This is prior collaborative research at UTEP, published before Arzola Research. UTEP and NIMH are historical research affiliations.
