Journal ArticleDOI
Mushroom body memoir: From maps to models
TL;DR: Genetic intervention in the fly Drosophila melanogaster has provided strong evidence that the mushroom bodies of the insect brain act as the seat of a memory trace for odours, and the development of a circuit model that addresses this function might allow the mushrooms to throw light on the basic operating principles of the brain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dopamine and Octopamine Differentiate between Aversive and Appetitive Olfactory Memories in Drosophila
Martin Schwaerzel,Maria Monastirioti,Henrike Scholz,Florence Friggi-Grelin,Serge Birman,Martin Heisenberg +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that in associative conditioning, different memories are formed of the same odor under different circumstances, and that they are linked to the respective motivational systems by their specific modulatory pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI
Associative odor learning in Drosophila abolished by chemical ablation of mushroom bodies
JS de Belle,Martin Heisenberg +1 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that MBs mediate associative odor learning in flies, and that adult flies developing without MBs are unable to perform in a classical conditioning paradigm that tests associative learning of odor cues and electric shock.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drosophila Mushroom Body Mutants are Deficient in Olfactory Learning
TL;DR: Two Drosophila mutants are described in which the connections between the input to and the output from the mushroom bodies is largely interrupted, and the defect seems not to impair learning of color discrimination tasks or operant learning involving visual cues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Localization of a short-term memory in Drosophila.
TL;DR: The rutabaga adenylyl cyclase, an enzyme that is ubiquitously expressed in the Drosophila brain and that mediates synaptic plasticity, is needed exclusively in the Kenyon cells of the mushroom bodies for a component of olfactory short-term memory.
