I want to do studies on neurotoxicology or neuroprotective properties of natural products. Can you suggest doable bioassay for this? Im thinking of using Drosophila melanogaster. Any thoughts? Thank you for your help.
There are many indirect (behavioral) assays you could use in Drosophila. Activity, courtship activity, starvation resistance, etc. I'm sure there are also histological & biochemical assays, but that is outside my experience.
