In the world of neurogenetics, timing is everything. To understand how specific neurons drive behavior, researchers

We believe in open science. The entire system is built on: For those looking to dive deeper into the

The system operates on a dual-camera setup. A wide-angle camera maintains a lock on the fly's global position within the arena, while a second, high-magnification camera targets specific anatomical regions. By utilizing Thorlabs 2D galvanometers, we can steer a laser to deliver precise optogenetic or thermogenetic stimulation—all while the fly moves freely.
