Abstract excerpt
A prior screen identified dozens of Drosophila melanogaster mutants that possess defective long-term memory (LTM). Using spaced olfactory conditioning, we trained 26 of these mutant lines to associate an odor cue with electric shock and then examined the memory of this conditioning 24 h later. All of the mutants tested revealed a deficit in LTM compared to the robust LTM observed in control flies. We used in vivo...
