Abstract

A gene required for short-term memory in Drosophila, Volado, encodes an alpha integrin and is preferentially expressed in the mushroom bodies of the adult brain. Adhesion molecules of this kind may play a role in olfactory memory by altering the strength of synaptic connections in an experience-dependent manner.

摘要

果蝇中一种与短期记忆相关的基因Volado编码一种α整合素，且在成体果蝇大脑的蘑菇体中优先表达。这类黏附分子可能通过以经验依赖的方式改变突触连接强度，在嗅觉记忆中发挥作用。
