Abstract

After exposure to blue light for several hoursDrosophila melanogaster wildtype shows a phototactic behaviour in the “T-maze” and in the “choice tube” closely resembling that of mutants defective in receptor cells R1–R6. Exposure to yellow light of an intensity of 0.5 W/m2 reverts this behavioural modification within a period of 1 to 2h. The behavioural analysis correlates with the long lasting afterpotentials in electroretinograms ofwildtype Drosophila after prolonged exposure to blue light.
