Behavior-Genetic Analysis of the Black Blow Fly, Phormia Regina, Using the Central Excitatory State (Ces)

Abstract

dc:description

Behavior-genetic analysis of the black blow fly, Phormia regina, using the central excitatory state (CES) has identified two more components of the proboscis-extension response. Now four are known: Conditioning and sucrose-induced CES (s-CES) were described in previous studies, and here evidence is presented for the existence of water-induced CES (w-CES) and base-level water responsiveness. Furthermore, using replicated hybrid crosses between pure breeding lines, a single major-gene correlate of s-CES has been detected.
