Functional characterization of dopamine transporter in vivo using Drosophila melanogaster behavioral analysis.

Dopamine mediates diverse functions such as motivation, reward, attention, learning/memory and sleep/arousal. Recent studies using model organisms including the fruit fly, have elucidated various physiological functions of dopamine, and identified specific neural circuits for these functions. Flies...
