Small, genetically tractable species such as larval zebrafish, Drosophila, or Caenorhabditis elegans have become key model organisms in modern neuroscience. In addition to their low maintenance costs and easy sharing of strains across labs, one key appeal is the possibility to monitor single or groups of animals in a behavioural arena while controlling the activity of select neurons using optogenetic or thermogenetic tools. However, the purchase of a commercial solution for these types of experiments, including an appropriate camera system as well as a controlled behavioural arena, can be costly. Here, we present a low-cost and modular open-source alternative called ‘FlyPi’. Our design is based on a 3D-printed mainframe, a Raspberry Pi computer, and high-definition camera system as well as Arduino-based optical and thermal control circuits. Depending on the configuration, FlyPi can be assembled for well under €100 and features optional modules for light-emitting diode (LED)-based fluorescence microscopy and optogenetic stimulation as well as a Peltier-based temperature stimulator for thermogenetics. The complete version with all modules costs approximately €200 or substantially less if the user is prepared to ‘shop around’. All functions of FlyPi can be controlled through a custom-written graphical user interface. To demonstrate FlyPi’s capabilities, we present its use in a series of state-of-the-art neurogenetics experiments. In addition, we demonstrate FlyPi’s utility as a medical diagnostic tool as well as a teaching aid at Neurogenetics courses held at several African universities. Taken together, the low cost and modular nature as well as fully open design of FlyPi make it a highly versatile tool in a range of applications, including the classroom, diagnostic centres, and research labs.

🧪 "The Lab" Door/Wall Signs - For the Scientist and the Mad Scientist in You! 🤓💥 👩🔬 Regular Lab vs. Lab Explosion! From the orderly scientist meticulously taking notes to the frenzied experimenter causing all sorts of "unintended results," we have both worlds covered! Choose between our Regular Lab and Lab Explosion designs. 🌿 Ethical Experiments Crafted from PLA, a biodegradable plastic, our lab signs are as kind to the planet as they are to your sense of humor. 📏 Big Science, Small Size These signs measure 9" x 3", making them the largest we can print this design. Big enough to be noticed, small enough to fit anywhere you deem scientific! 🔨 Installation Faster Than You Can Say 'Eureka!' Opt for a Command Strip or self-adhesive magnet to get your lab up and running (or exploding) in no time. 🎁 Gift of Science (or Chaos) Looking for a gift for that hard-to-shop-for science lover in your life? Or maybe a gag gift for the lab rat who's seen it all? Either way, this sign is a perfect formula for fun.
