Abstract

Fruit flies can learn to associate an odor with an aversive stimulus, such as a shock. New findings indicate that disrupting the expression of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors in flies impairs olfactory conditioning. The findings provide support for a critical role for NMDA receptors in associative learning.

摘要

果蝇能够学会将一种气味与厌恶刺激（如电击）联系起来。新的研究结果表明，破坏果蝇体内N-甲基-D-天冬氨酸（NMDA）受体的表达会损害嗅觉条件反射。这些发现为NMDA受体在联想学习中的关键作用提供了支持。
