Movie 7.

Representative video showing behavioral tracking in response to BENZ exposure concurrent with optogenetic activation of bitter taste (Gr66a>CsChrimson ATR+ flies). Full 15-minute video showing fly behavior in the OpenLA arena. Note that the decreased resolution in optogenetic videos is a result of the lower light levels used in the apparatus to minimize the unwanted activation of Gr>Chrimson.
