Xia, SZ, L. Liu, CH Feng and AK Guo. Nutritional effects on operant visual learning in
Drosophila melanogaster. Physiol Behav 62 (2) 263–271, 1997.—The nutritional effects on …

An understanding of associative learning is facilitated if it can be analyzed in a simple
animal like the fruit fly Drosophila. Here, we introduce the first visual associative learning …

Dietary conditions affect cognitive abilities of many species, but it is unclear to what extent
this physiological effect translates into an evolutionary relationship. 2. A reduction of …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Organisms from slime moulds to humans carefully regulate their macronutrient intake to
optimize a wide range of life history characters including survival, stress resistance, and …

To test whether visual experience can affect development of visual behavior in the fruitfly,
Drosophila, we measured the visually-guided choice behavior of groups of flies reared in …

If a mother's nutritional status predicts the nutritional environment of the offspring, it would be
adaptive for mothers experiencing nutritional stress to prime their offspring for a better …

The regulation of feeding behavior in adult Drosophila melanogaster includes such
elements as ingestion responsiveness, volume ingested in a single meal, food storage in the …
