Distinct neuronal circuits mediate experience-dependent, non-associative osmotactic responses in Drosophila.

Abstract excerpt

Osmotactic responses can be modified in an experience-dependent manner and have been used to condition animals in negative or positive associative paradigms. Experience-dependent non-associative defects in avoidance of aversive odors were reported in Drosophila learning mutants. This prompted an examination of the contribution of the mushroom bodies and inner antenoglomerular tract, the two neuronal populations...
