Researchers from Japan create a large behavioral dataset for fruit flies

Caption

The study provides a comprehensive behavioral dataset of Drosophila melanogaster, categorized by genetic background, sex, and social context (isolated or in groups). Beyond enabling detailed analyses of behavioral mechanisms and genetic factors underlying locomotion, fear responses, and social interactions, this dataset provides a unique opportunity to examine individual behavioral variability within genetically identical flies, as well as to develop tracking tools.
