Adaptive adjustment of the generalization-discrimination balance in larval Drosophila.

Abstract excerpt

Learnt predictive behavior faces a dilemma: predictive stimuli will never 'replay' exactly as during the learning event, requiring generalization. In turn, minute differences can become meaningful, prompting discrimination. To provide a study case for an adaptive adjustment of this generalization-discrimination balance, the authors ask whether Drosophila melanogaster larvae are able to either generalize or...
