Dopaminergic neurons write and update memories with cell-type-specific rules (2016, background): “DOI: 10.7554/eLife.16135.001”
Mushroom body output neurons encode valence and guide memory-based action selection in Drosophila (2014, background): “Connections between the projection neurons and the ∼2000 Kenyon cells (KCs), the neurons whose parallel axonal fibers form the MB lobes (Crittenden et al., 1998; Aso et al., 2009), are not stereotyped (Figure 1A) (Murthy et al.”
The neuronal architecture of the mushroom body provides a logic for associative learning (2014, positive): “This procedure gave results consistent with previous manual counting of c739 and c305a drivers (Aso et al., 2009).”
A connectome of a learning and memory center in the adult Drosophila brain (2017, methodology): “We reconstructed 949 KCs in the a lobe, a number that agrees well with the previous estimate of ~1000 a/b KCs obtained by counting genetically labeled cell nuclei with light microscopy (Aso et al., 2009).”
Forgetting is regulated through Rac activity in Drosophila. (2010, neutral): “Among these additional nine MB-Gal4s examined (Figure 3B), memory enhancement was observed only with D52H(f), which strongly labels the g and ab neurons but not the a0b0 neurons (around 2700 out of 4000 MB neurons; see Aso et al., 2009).”
cAMP signalling in mushroom bodies modulates temperature preference behaviour in Drosophila (2008, background): “To confirm the specific role of MB, we next tested MB247 which strongly induces gene expression in the ab and c lobes with very low background expression (Figure S2B and [49]).”
Two independent mushroom body output circuits retrieve the six discrete components of Drosophila aversive memory. (2015, methodology): “MBs represent a paired structure of 2,000 neurons per brain hemisphere, known as the Kenyon cells (KCs) (Aso et al., 2009).”
Cellular-resolution population imaging reveals robust sparse coding in the Drosophila Mushroom Body (2011, background): “The MB is composed of 2000 small neurons known as Kenyon cells (KCs) (Aso et al., 2009).”
Gustatory Learning and Processing in the Drosophila Mushroom Bodies (2015, background): “The following fly lines were used: 247–Gal4 (Schulz et al., 1996; Zars et al., 2000), c772–Gal4 and H24 –Gal4 (Zars et al., 2000), c739 –Gal4 (O’Dell et al., 1995; Yang et al., 1995), c320 –Gal4 (Martini and Davis, 2005; Krashes et al., 2007), c305a–Gal4, MB–Gal80 (Krashes et al., 2007), NP1131–Gal4”
Parallel Pathways for Cross-Modal Memory Retrieval in Drosophila (2013, methodology): “Specifically, we used c739, NP1131, and c305a, each of which yields expression in the / , , and ’/ ’ neurons, respectively (Yang et al., 1995; Tanaka et al., 2008; Aso et al., 2009).”
