Neurobiology: Learning from a fly's memory
Abstract
Two facets of learning are the formation and the retrieval of memories. Genetic manipulation of the fruitfly's brain allows them to be dissociated, and may lead to a better understanding of memory.
Seminal work done over 100 years ago1, 2 established the basics of memory and learning. But, then as now, studies of learning were hampered by the fact that it is difficult (if not impossible) to distinguish between the formation and the retrieval of memories.
