Olfactory learning deficits in mutants for leonardo, a Drosophila gene encoding a 14-3-3 protein.
Neuron - 1 Nov 1996
Skoulakis E M, Davis R L
Abstract excerpt
Studies of Drosophila and other insects have indicated an essential role for the mushroom bodies in learning and memory. The leonardo gene encodes a Drosophila protein highly homologous to the vertebrate 14-3-3zeta isoform, a protein well studied for biochemical roles but without a well established biological function. The gene is expressed abundantly and preferentially in mushroom body neurons. Mutant alleles...
