Basis for consolidating place memories in Drosophila

In the second funding period, this project investigated how neural and network activity in the mushroom bodies influences olfactory associative memory consolidation in Drosophila. We also investigated neural activity underlying sleep regulation and molecular plasticity in the initial memory consolidation phase. We now aim at using our protocols developed in the last funding periods to investigate place memory consolidation in the central complex, which should further facilitate cross-species comparison.
