Selective life-long suppression of an odor processing channel in response to critical period experience

Hans C. Leier, Julius Jonaitis, Alexander J Foden…·Andrew M. Dacks

The paper shows that exposure to ethyl butyrate during a critical period in Drosophila leads to long-term suppression of Or42a OSN odor responses and selective glial pruning of their axon terminals.

Glia control experience-dependent plasticity in an olfactory critical period

Hans C. Leier, Alexander J Foden, Darren A Jindal…·Heather Tarczy Broihier

The paper shows that glia prune synapses during a critical period in Drosophila olfactory circuits, with long-term effects on circuit function.
