Associative learning drives longitudinally-graded presynaptic plasticity of neurotransmitter release along axonal compartments

Aaron Stahl, Nathaniel C. Noyes, Tamara Boto, Valentina Botero, Connor N. Broyles, Miao Jing, Jianzhi Zeng, Lanikea B. King, Yulong Li, Ronald L. Davis, Seth M. Tomchik

The paper shows that associative learning induces compartmentalized, bidirectional plasticity of acetylcholine release in Drosophila mushroom body axons, with valence-dependent effects and distinct molecular mechanisms.
