Effect of Guava Leaf Extract on Julius Seizure Drosophila Seizure Rates

Research
Introduction

About this project

Julius seizure fruit flies are specific strains of drosophila which can be given motion induced seizures which are caused by a mutation in their genes which causes higher seizure sensitivity in their brains. In this project, I will be looking into how these seizure rates could be reduced through the consumption of guava leaves and its anti-epileptic properties.
