dTBI2: A Calibrated, Tunable Device for Administering Traumatic Brain Injury in Drosophila.

The second-generation Drosophila traumatic brain injury (TBI) device dTBI2 improves Drosophila TBI administration by providing a moderate-throughput, tunable, head-specific injury. Our updated device design improves user-friendliness, eliminates inconsistencies in injury timing, and has an updated circuit design to extend the longevity of delicate electronic components. dTBI2 improves reproducibility across users and runs, and results in more consistent post-injury phenotypes.
