Using the flight simulator system, the operant conditioned visual flight orientation behavior in
Drosophila was studied. It was demonstrated that the visual learning performance is …

Drosophila melanogaster. Physiol Behav 62 (2) 263–271, 1997.—The nutritional effects on …

Orientation preferences for visual patterns can be conditioned in tethered flies (Drosophila
melanogaster) at the flight simulator. In a reversal conditioning procedure using heat as …

Ever since operant conditioning was studied experimentally, the relationship between
associative learning and possible motor learning has become controversial. Although motor …

Experience plays a key role in the acquisition of complex motor skills in running and flight of
many vertebrates. To evaluate the significance of previous experience for the efficiency of …

A new conditioning procedure, developed for the operant learning paradigm at the flight
simulator, leads to stronger learning scores in wild-type flies. This procedure produces mean …

Visual cognition, as one of the fundamental aspects of cognitive neuroscience, is generally
associated with high-order brain functions in animals and human. Drosophila, as a model …

To study learning and memory of Drosophila melanogaster in the flight simulator, single flies
are trained in an operant conditioning paradigm to avoid a course towards visual objects …

The fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, is able to discriminate visual landmarks and form
visual long-term memory in a flight simulator. Studies focused on the molecular mechanism …

An urgent need for better understanding of memory is increasing as our aged population
gets older and older. Extensive research on the biology of learning, memory and …
