Zusammenfassung
Characterization of lifetime behavioral changes is essential for understanding aging and aging-related diseases. However, such studies are scarce partly due to the lack of efficient tools. Here we describe and provide proof of concept for a stereo vision system that classifies and sequentially recordsat an extremely fine scalesix different behaviors (resting, micro-movement, walking, flying, feeding and drinking) and the within-cage (3D)location of individualtephritidfruit flies by time-of-day throughout their lives. Using flies fed on two different diets, full sugar-yeast and sugar-only diets, we report for the first time their behavioral changes throughout their lives at a high resolution.We have found that the daily activity peaks at the age of 15-20 days and then gradually declines with age for flies on both diets. However, the overall daily activity is higher for flies on sugar-only diet than those on the full diet. Flies on sugar-only diet show a stronger diurnal localization pattern with higher preference to staying on the top of the cage during the period of light-off when compared to flies on the full diet. Clustering analyses of age-specific behavior patterns reveal three distinct young, middle-aged and old clusters for flies on each of the two diets. The middle-aged groups for flies on sugar-only diet consist of much younger age groups when compared to flies on full diet. This technology providesresearch opportunitiesfor using a behavioral informatics approach for understanding different ways in which behavior, movement, and aging in model organisms are mutually affecting. © 2011 Zou et al.

The novel dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) derivative BNN27 counteracts behavioural deficits induced by the NMDA receptor antagonist ketamine in rats
Zoupa E., Gravanis A., Pitsikas N. (2019)Consistent experimental evidence supports an important role of the glutamatergic system in the etiopathogenesis of schizophrenia. Numerous studies propose that blockade of the NMDA receptor by its antagonist ketamine impairs ...
