Effects of Tv1 and Tsu1.1 on activity and motor coordination of male Drosophila. Activity was recorded for five consecutive days using automated video tracking and measured as the distance travelled per hour (mm/h/fly). Controls were maintained during the same conditions as the teretoxin-injected flies with the only difference that they were injected with PBS. (A) Activity assay of Tsu1.1. (B) Activity assay of Tv1. (C) Climbing index measured the short term effects of the toxins as well as possible disruptions in their motor coordination. The climbing assays of Tsu1.1 revealed only trivial effects on climbing ability. (D) Climbing assay of Tv1, all at 20 μM and 100 μM. All error bars represent 95% CI. The numbers indicated below each bar denote the standardized effect size (g). The climbing index was done with at least 15–20 male flies in each vial. Control data are depicted with grey dots, and teretoxin injected-fly data with orange dots.
