Abnormal mushroom body plasticity in the Drosophila memory mutant amnesiac.

Abstract excerpt

In Drosophila melanogaster, adult or larval rearing conditions influence brain structure. In particular, larval density affects the number of fibers forming the mushroom bodies, a neuropil structure involved in olfactory learning. The mushroom bodies receive chemosensory inputs from the antennal lobes at the level of the calyx. In this study we report that larval density affects calyx volume measured shortly...
