TLDR
Early larval HU application to P[GAL4] strains that label specific neuron types enabled us to identify the origins of the two major classes of interneurons in the olfactory system and suggested that differentiated RI are present at the larval stage already and may be retained through metamorphosis.Abstract:
Hydroxyurea (HU) treatment of early first instar larvae in Drosophila was previously shown to ablate a single dividing lateral neuroblast (LNb) in the brain. Early larval HU application to P[GAL4] strains that label specific neuron types enabled us to identify the origins of the two major classes of interneurons in the olfactory system. HU treatment resulted in the loss of antennal lobe local interneurons and of a subset of relay interneurons (RI), elements usually projecting to the calyx and the lateral protocerebrum (LPR). Other RI were resistant to HU and still projected to the LPR. However, they formed no collaterals in the calyx region (which was also ablated), suggesting that their survival does not depend on targets in the calyx. Hence, the ablated interneurons were derived from the LNb, whereas the HU-resistant elements originated from neuroblasts which begin to divide later in larval life. Developmental GAL4 expression patterns suggested that differentiated RI are present at the larval stage already and may be retained through metamorphosis.read more

TL;DR: The higher signal-to-background ratio (SBR) of the Bessel-beam 3PM compared to the two-photon version both theoretically and experimentally is demonstrated and highlights the unique advantage of conducting rapid volumetric imaging with a high SBR in the deep brain in vivo using scanning Bessel -3PM.

Visual Input Regulates Circuit Configuration in Courtship Conditioning of Drosophila melanogaster
TL;DR: Visual input suppressed the ability of mushroom body- and central complex-specific CaMKII inhibition to disrupt memory formation, indicating that the cellular circuitry underlying this behavior can be remodeled by changing the driving sensory modality.

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.

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.
