Mushroom body specific transcriptome analysis reveals dynamic regulation of learning and memory genes after acquisition of long-term courtship memory in Drosophila

The paper analyzes the Drosophila mushroom body transcriptome at 1 hour and 24 hours post-long-term courtship memory acquisition, revealing distinct gene expression changes in the MB compared to whole head samples.

Systematic functional characterization of the intellectual disability-associated SWI/SNF complex reveals distinct roles for the BAP and PBAP complexes in post-mitotic memory forming neurons of the Drosophila mushroom body

The paper identifies distinct roles for the BAP and PBAP subcomplexes of the SWI/SNF complex in memory formation and neuronal survival in Drosophila mushroom body neurons.
