Microengineered devices enable long-term imaging of the ventral nerve cord in behaving adult Drosophila
Abstract
Minimally invasive procedures for tracking neural activity are important for understanding of neural networks. Here the authors describe microfabricated implants and windows that enable long-term recordings of motor circuit activity in Drosophila, allowing them to watch how neurons change their structure and activity over weeks.
