Identification of linotte, a new gene affecting learning and memory in Drosophila melanogaster.

Abstract excerpt

We describe the identification of linotte, a new autosomal gene in Drosophila involved with learning and memory. The linotte mutant was derived from a PlacW transposon mutagenesis and was screened for three-hour memory deficits after classical conditioning of an olfactory avoidance response. Sens...
