Visual mutations reveal opposing effects of illumination on arousal in Drosophila.

Yuzhong Cheng1, Howard A Nash.   

Abstract

The effect of illumination on alertness can be assessed by comparing the efficacy of an anesthetic under light vs. dark conditions. Results from such tests on wild-type flies and visual mutants demonstrate that, surprisingly, light has both positive and negative influences on arousal. These dual effects may explain aspects of the fly's daily activity and have potential clinical implications.
