A Technique to Inflict Closed-Head Traumatic Brain Injury in <em>Drosophila</em> Flies

Source: Sun, M., et al. A Novel Method to Model Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy in Drosophila. J. Vis. Exp. (2017). This video demonstrates a procedure to inflict a closed-head traumatic injury in anesthetized Drosophila flies using a strike device with a gas-propelled impactor. The injury affects neuronal function and impairs walking ability.
