A central goal of neuroscience is to understand how neural circuits encode memory and
guide behaviour. Studying simple, genetically tractable organisms, such as Drosophila …

Unlike most organ systems, which have evolved to maintain homeostasis, the brain has
been selected to sense and adapt to environmental stimuli by constantly altering interactions …

Behavioral and pharmacological experiments in many animal species have suggested that
memory is consolidated from an initial, disruptable form into a longlasting, stable form within …

Consolidated memory after olfactory learning in Drosophila consists of two components, a
cycloheximide-sensitive, long-term memory (LTM) and a cycloheximide-insensitive …

Genetic studies of memory formation in Drosophila have revealed that the formation of a
protein synthesis-dependent long-term memory (LTM) requires multiple training sessions …

Background: Memory formation after olfactory learning in Drosophila displays behavioral
and molecular properties similar to those of other species. Particularly, long-term memory …

The Ryk receptor belongs to the atypical receptor tyrosine kinase family. It is a new member
of the family of Wnt receptor proteins. However, the molecular mechanisms by which the Ryk …

We describe a collection of P-element insertions that have considerable utility for generating
custom chromosomal aberrations in Drosophila melanogaster. We have mobilized a pair of …

Wnts are important for various developmental and oncogenic processes. Here we show that
Wnt signaling functions at synapses in hippocampal neurons. Tetanic stimulations induce N …

Wnt signaling plays a major role in regulating cell proliferation and differentiation. The Wnt
ligands are a family of 19 secreted glycoproteins that mediate their signaling effects via …
