Directional selection failed to produce changes in olfactory Y-maze learning and memory but induced changes in climbing phenotypes

Victoria Hamlin, Jamie Baumann, Reiley Heffern…·Elizabeth G. King

This study used directional selection to examine changes in olfactory learning and memory in flies, finding no significant changes in the main traits but observed changes in climbing behavior.

Multiple methods for assessing learning and memory in Drosophila melanogaster demonstrates the highly complex, context-dependent genetic underpinnings of cognitive traits

Victoria Hamlin, Huda Ansaf, Reiley Heffern…·Elizabeth G. King

The paper assesses learning and memory in Drosophila using multiple methods and finds limited correlation between olfactory and place learning, suggesting context-dependent genetic factors.
