TA Currier, KI Nagel - Current opinion in neurobiology, 2020‏ - Elsevier
Highlights•Spatial navigation in Drosophila relies on many sensory modalities.•4 modes of
integration have been observed: suppression, gating, summation, and association.•Multiple …

Spaced training forms complementary long-term memories of opposite valence in Drosophila

PF Jacob, S Waddell - Neuron, 2020‏ - cell.com
Forming long-term memory (LTM) often requires repetitive experience spread over time.
Studies in Drosophila suggest aversive olfactory LTM is optimal after spaced training …
