Neuronal mechanisms of learning and memory revealed by spatial and temporal suppression of neurotransmission using <i>shibire</i><sup>ts1</sup>, a temperature-sensitive dynamin mutant gene in Drosophila melanogaster
The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is an excellent model organism to identify genes and genetic pathways important for learning and memory. However, its small size makes surgical treatment and electrophysiological manipulation technically difficult, hampering the functional analysis of neuronal...
