Electrophysiological Recordings from <em>Drosophila</em> Sensilla in Response to Volatile Odorants

Source: Ng, R., et al. Electrophysiological recording from Drosophila Trichoid sensilla in response to odorants of low volatility. J. Vis. Exp. (2017). In this video, a live Drosophila fly is mounted in a tube for electrophysiological studies. Electrodes are positioned at the base of the sensillum to record specific neuronal responses to pheromones with the fly's olfactory receptor neurons.
