Neural activity of tore00150/tor1 mutant class IV da neurons show a reduction in response to blue light (470 nm) illumination compared with controls. This is accompanied by a loss of larval light avoidance.
When exposed to a light/dark choice, wild-type larvae show a strong preference to pupariate in the dark. This behaviour is abolished in tore00150/tor1 mutants.
