Drosophila Neural Circuits Analysis Service
Drosophila is the model animal of choice for studying the gene - neural circuit - behavior relationship. The Drosophila brain has approximately 100,000 neurons that form a vast number of neural circuits that perceive external stimuli, process information, and respond. Furthermore, the Drosophila brain also has advanced functions such as learning and memory. Neural circuits can be composed of multiple neurons through chemical and electrical synapses. Therefore, measuring the activity of neurons and characterizing their connections through a variety of physicochemical and imaging techniques is important for identifying the function of neurons, mapping Drosophila neural networks, and facilitating the development of drugs for neurological disease targets.
CD BioSciences has established an advanced Drosophila neuron and circuit detection technology platform, including in vivo and in vitro examination of neurons connection. Our Drosophila electrophysiology, calcium imaging and neurotransmitter analysis technologies can detect every neuron at single-cell resolution, or even all associated neurons in a specific region, accelerating our customers' progress in studying Drosophila neural circuits.

-
Drosophila Neurons Calcium Imagin
Calcium imaging is a technique that uses microscopic imaging systems to monitor changes in neuronal calcium concentrations and thereby detect neuronal activity. CD BioSciences provides customers with highly sensitive, signal-stable chemical and genetically encoded calcium indicators, as well as high quality imaging.
-
Drosophila Neurons Electrophysiological Analysis
Electrophysiological techniques are used to detect neural circuits or brain regions involved in the regulation of neural activity and behavior by detecting potentials and currents in single neuron or cell subgroups. CD BioSciences provides in vivo and in vitro electrophysiological analysis, including dissection, system commissioning, data acquisition, signal amplification and conversion, data analysis, and other overall services to meet the needs of various development states and parts in Drosophila.
-
Drosophila Neurotransmitters Analysis
Signal transduction at chemical synapses is dependent on the release and reception of neurotransmitters. Using electrophysiological and calcium imaging techniques, their bioelectrical signals are not fully captured. Therefore, CD BioSciences provides Drosophila neurotransmitter analysis based on chromatography, mass spectrometry and electrochemistry platforms for dynamic and highly sensitive detection of spatiotemporal and low-level expressed neurotransmitters to accelerate customer research.
