| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Animals decrease response to stimuli when they are exposed to the useless stimuli for a long time. This is habituation. However, as the stimuli are valuable, animals have to respond to them. Such neural mechanisms of regulating the habituation levels depending on the stimulus relevance are unknown. In this study, using fruit fly’s typical auditory behavior related to courtship behavior, I identified subset of neurons which are contributed to the neural mechanisms of regulating the habituation levels depending on the relevance.
