Abstract:
Habituation is a common form of learning and memory that has been poorly studied
despite its fundamental importance and clinical significance. During habituation, the
behavioural response to a prolonged or repeated unreinforced stimulus is attenuated.
Drosophila melanogaster is a particularly useful model system in which to study
olfactory habituation, due to the well-understood olfactory circuitry and availability of a wide array of genetic tools.
