Altered habituation of an identified escape circuit in Drosophila memory mutants.
Genetic approaches in Drosophila have advanced our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of different forms of learning, including habituation, but relevant neural components have not been explored. We show that a well defined neural circuit that underlies an escape response can be habituated, providing for the first time excellent opportunities for studying physiological parameters of lear...
متن کاملGenetic dissection of functional contributions of specific potassium channel subunits in habituation of an escape circuit in Drosophila.
Potassium channels have been implicated in central roles in activity-dependent neural plasticity. The giant fiber escape pathway of Drosophila has been established as a model for analyzing habituation and its modification by memory mutations in an identified circuit. Several genes in Drosophila encoding K+ channel subunits have been characterized, permitting examination of the contributions of ...
متن کاملExcitation and habituation of crayfish escape. 1969.
This paper describes one of the first attempts to analyze the synaptic basis for the release of an animal’s fixed action pattern, which controls a behavior such as the crayfish escape response. It is also one of the early demonstrations that the neural mechanisms of a simple form of learning, known as habituation, are located in the central synapses of the neural circuit that produced the behav...
متن کاملA cGMP-dependent protein kinase gene, foraging, modifies habituation-like response decrement of the giant fiber escape circuit in Drosophila.
The Drosophila giant fiber jump-and-flight escape response is a model for genetic analysis of both the physiology and the plasticity of a sensorimotor behavioral pathway. We previously established the electrically induced giant fiber response in intact tethered flies as a model for habituation, a form of nonassociative learning. Here, we show that the rate of stimulus-dependent response decreme...
متن کاملHepatitis B virus S gene escape mutants
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) can be classified into nine immunological subtypes or eight genotypes. The most prevalent genotypes in Asia are genotypes B and C. HBV is transmitted parenteraly and can produce either asymptomatic or symptomatic disease. Although the consequences of acute hepatitis B can be severe, serious sequelae are associated with chronic infections. HBV seroprevalence ranges from i...
