Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Neural plasticity is a key feature of neurons tο establish learning and memory and, in Drosophila olfactory memory, it has been known that the Mushroom body (MB) plays a pivotal role. To understand the neural circuits, I established a live calcium imaging setup where cellular activities from neurons of MB are simultaneously being monitored before, during and after a training session. Our lab has focused on MB cells with CREB-positive (CRE-p cells) and analyzed activities on the CRE-p related cells in this study. 1) Recordings from dopaminergic neurons that sends their dendrites to CRE-p cells. 2) Recordings from output neurons (MBONs) from CRE-p MB cells. 3) I found that at least 2 MBONs showed training-related plasticity. 4) The 2 MBONs shows an opposite plasticity after a training - one increases and the other decreases responses to a learned odor.
