摘要
In a project funded by NSFC,a team led by Associate Professor Gong Zhefeng and Professor Liu Li from the Institute of Biophysics,Chinese Academy of Sciences,discovered that two pairs of central brain neurons control the switch of the preference between light and darkness,by applying the GAL4/UAS system to block function of certain neural cells and investigating the consequent changes in Drosophila larval light avoidance behavior.A short report article published on Science on Oct.22,2010 reported this discovery. According to the report,animal behaviors are generally quite flexible.Animals can adjust their behavior according to the changes in natural environment,nutritional condition as well as factors like age.But,
