Short and long-term genetic and behavioural consequences of traumatic brain injury in fruit flies

University of Leicester Department of Genetics and Genome Biology

General background . How many fingers am I holding up? What day of the week is it? Follow my finger? These three questions are designed to test your sensory, memory and motor neural abilities following an accident; all three systems are affected by a severe deceleration of your brain. Read more
