Journal ArticleDOI
An engram found? Evaluating the evidence from fruit flies
TL;DR: It is argued that the notion of the olfactory memory trace being localized to the Kenyon cells of the mushroom bodies is a reasonable working hypothesis on the basis of which memory is abolished if these cells cannot receive input during training.
Journal ArticleDOI
Motion vision is independent of color in Drosophila
TL;DR: Drosophila is used to answer the question of whether motion vision uses color contrast, and it is concluded that the color channel (R7/R8) does not contribute to motion detection as monitored by the optomotor response.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extinction antagonizes olfactory memory at the subcellular level
TL;DR: Uninforced presentation of learned odorants antagonizes intracellularly the signaling cascade underlying memory formation, which reduces memory performance and does so at the same circuit level as memory formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contribution of photoreceptor subtypes to spectral wavelength preference in Drosophila
TL;DR: This work investigated how photoreceptor types contribute to the attractiveness of light by blocking the function of certain subsets and by measuring differential phototaxis between spectrally different lights.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the fine structure of yaw torque in visual flight orientation ofDrosophila melanogaster
Martin Heisenberg,Reinhard Wolf +1 more
TL;DR: The fly is able to focus its "attention" to any angular position (in the horizontal) in this process it follows the stimuli presented as discussed by the authors, which is called visual attention.
