Figure 8. The sloΔ55b mutation did not affect circadian rhythmicity.

Figure 8

A) Actograms of wild-type, sloΔ55b, and slo4 flies. Recently eclosed flies were entrained in 12:12 light:dark for 3 days before monitoring their free-running activity (beam crossings per 5 minute bins) under constant darkness conditions for six consecutive days. Both CS and sloΔ55b flies demonstrated rhythmic oscillation in activity, while slo4 was behaviorally arrhythmic. Rhythm index, period and sleep were quantified for each fly throughout the duration of the activity measurement. One-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s post hoc test was used to determine statistical significance. Error bars represent SEM. *P ≤ 0.05; **P ≤ 0.01.
