Genetic Dissection of Optomotor Behavior in Droso- phila melanogaster Studies on Wild-Type and the
TL;DR: It is proposed that Drosophila’s optomotor yaw control is organized as two partially parallel subunits and the component missing in the mutant optomofor-blindH3’ (omb) is called “large field response”, which is presumably mediated by the giant HS-cells in the wild-type.
Book ChapterDOI
The Origin of Freedom in Animal Behaviour
TL;DR: Most animal societies enforce cooperation at the expense of individual freedom, but human societies can base cooperation on shared intentions and in this way the individuals can cooperate without sacrificing behavioural freedom.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Flybrain Project
Martin Heisenberg,Kim Kaiser +1 more
TL;DR: The Flybrain Project represents a concerted effort to generate an on-line atlas and database for the structure and function of the Drosophila nervous system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Abnormal mushroom body plasticity in the Drosophila memory mutant amnesiac.
TL;DR: It is reported that larval density affects calyx volume measured shortly after eclosion from the pupal case, and it is observed that in the memory mutant amnesiac this form of experience-dependent structural plasticity is missing, whereas it is not affected in the learning mutant rutabaga and in theMemory mutant radish.
Journal ArticleDOI
Starvation promotes odor/feeding-time associations in flies.
TL;DR: The extent of starvation is correlated with the fly's ability to establish odor/feeding-time memories and it is shown that starvation is required for acquisition but is dispensable for retrieval of odor/ feeding-time memory.
