Mushroom body output neurons MBONa1/a2 define an odor intensity channel that regulates behavioral odor discrimination learning in larval Drosophila

Abdulkadir Mohamed, Iro Malekou, Timothy Sim, Cahir J. O’Kane, Yousef Maait, Benjamin Scullion, Liria M. Masuda-Nakagawa

The paper identifies MBONa1/a2 neurons in Drosophila that respond only to high odor concentrations, suggesting they regulate odor discrimination learning by processing odor intensity.

Octopaminergic neurons have multiple targets in Drosophila larval mushroom body calyx and regulate behavioral odor discrimination

Jin Yan Hilary Wong, Bo Angela Wan, Tom Bland, Marcella Montagnese, Alex D. McLachlan, Cahir J. O’Kane, Shuo Wei Zhang, Liria M. Masuda-Nakagawa

The paper identifies sVUM1 octopaminergic neurons in Drosophila larvae that modulate odor discrimination by targeting multiple extrinsic inputs in the mushroom body calyx.
