| Research Abstract |
The physiological mechanisms of memory formation and storage is still unclear. In this report, I tried to examine the mechanisms by using isolated brain of Drosophila melanogaster. I found that the fly brain expressing fluorescent probe to monitor neural activity responded by electrical stimulation. Finally, I found that the electrical stimulation successfully induced the neural plasticity associate odor-avoidance memory in fly. By some experiments, I propose the new neural model to explain the odor-avoidance memory.
