BACKGROUND: Starting from Benzer's initiative, the approach of forward genetics has been widely used to isolate mutations affecting learning and memory.

We have isolated P insertional mutations affecting memory after courtship conditioning - another form of classical conditioning in Drosophila. Here we report the behavioral characteristics of one of...
