The STROBE: a system for closed-looped optogenetic control of freely feeding flies

Pierre‐Yves Musso, Pierre Junca, Meghan Jelen, Damian Feldman-Kiss, Han Zhang, Rachel C.W. Chan, Michael D. Gordon

The paper introduces STROBE, a closed-loop optogenetic system for controlling feeding behavior in Drosophila, showing it can drive attraction or avoidance based on sensory neuron activation.
