Abstract excerpt
The behavior of normal Drosophila and of X-linked olfactory conditioning mutants, dunce and amnesiac, was analyzed using an olfactory search task. Normal (C-S) flies quickly learn and remember which of two odors signals the presence of food and they are capable of retaining this information for at last eight hours.
