Abstract
Surgical removal of the head cuticle of Drosophila is necessary for optical brain imaging, leading to the Drosophila death in a short period of time and thus hindering long term monitoring. Targeting to the unmet need of surgery free procedure for Drosophila brain researches, in this study, laser scanning optical resolution photoacoustic microscopy (LSOR-PAM) of in vivo cuticle intact RCaMP labeled Drosophila mushroom body (MB) is presented. The MB is a higher-order olfactory center in Drosophila brain. This study paves the way toward exploring LSOR-PAM functional imaging capability of cuticle intact Drosophila brain under olfactory stimulus.
