Figure 1. Seizure duration, measured as mean recovery time (MRT), of Drosophila third instar larvae from electric shock.

Figure 1

(a) Third instar larvae developed from embryos exposed to various conditions between 11–19 h after egg laying at 25°C. Colours of bars represent the wavelength of visible light that embryos were exposed to and the presence of a MF is indicated by background horizontal lines. Dark control (Dark); dark + static 100 mT magnetic field (MF); pulsed 470 nm blue light (BL); pulsed 590 nm orange light (OL); pulsed 470 nm + cry03 null (BL/cry−/−); pulsed 470 nm + static 100 mT magnetic field (BL/MF); pulsed 470 nm + static 100 mT + cry03 null (BL/MF/cry−/−); pulsed 470 nm + static 100 mT + cry01/03 null, rescued with expression of DmCRY (BL/MF/cry−/−/cry+); pulsed 470 nm, + static 100 mT + anti-epileptic drug, phenytoin (BL/MF/Phy); pulsed 470 nm, + static 100 mT + anti-epileptic drug, gabapentin (BL/MF/Gbp). All values shown are means ± sem and n is shown in each bar. ** P ≤ 0.01. (b) The combined effect of BL and MF (BL&MF) is significantly larger than the additive effect of BL alone added to MF alone (BL + MF). Values shown are adjusted MRT values, derived by subtracting values obtained in dark controls. *** P ≤ 0.001.
