Abstract

A recent study in Drosophila has found that the connectivity between the first olfactory processing center, the antennal lobe, and one of its targets, the mushroom body, is apparently random. This supports the idea that the mushroom body is designed for learning arbitrary odor features.

摘要

最近在果蝇身上的一项研究发现，第一嗅觉处理中心——触角叶与其靶标之一蘑菇体之间的连接显然是随机的。这支持了蘑菇体是为学习任意气味特征而设计的观点。
