With powerful genetics and a translucent cuticle, the Drosophila larva is an ideal model
system for live imaging studies of neuronal cell biology and function. Here, we present an …

Live imaging is an important technique for studying cell biological processes, however this
can be challenging in live animals. The translucent cuticle of the Drosophila larva makes it …

The regrowth capacity of damaged neurons governs neuroregeneration and functional
recovery after nervous system trauma. Over the past few decades, various intrinsic and …

Live-imaging technology has markedly advanced in the field of neural injury and axon
degeneration; however, studies are still predominantly performed in in vitro settings such as …

Time-lapse imaging is an essential tool to study dynamic biological processes that cannot
be discerned from fixed samples alone. However, imaging cell-and tissue-level processes in …

The Drosophila larva has been used to investigate many processes in cell biology, including
morphogenesis, physiology and responses to drugs and new therapeutic compounds …

In this video, we demonstrate the procedure for isolating whole brains from adult Drosophila
in preparation for recording from single neurons. We begin by describing the dissecting …

Drosophila is a premier genetic model for the study of both embryonic development and
functional neuroscience. Traditionally, these fields are quite isolated from each other, with …

Live imaging has revolutionized the analysis of developmental biology over the last few
years. The ability to track in real time the dynamic processes that occur at tissue and cellular …

The Drosophila brain and visual system are widely utilized model systems to study neuronal
development, function and degeneration. Here we show three preparations of the brain and …
