Amnesiac Is Required in the Adult Mushroom Body for Memory Formation

Abstract excerpt

It was proposed that the Drosophila amnesiac gene ( amn ) is required for consolidation of aversive memory in the dorsal paired medial (DPM) neurons, a pair of large neurons that broadly innervate the mushroom bodies (MB), the fly center for olfactory learning and memory (Waddell et al., 2000). Yet, a conditional analysis showed that it was not possible to rescue the memory deficit of amn X8 null mutant flies...
