Odor passive avoidance learning in individual Drosophila melanogaster: Parametric investigations of unconditioned stimulus intensity and inter-trial-interval

Two studies investigated associative odor passive avoidance conditioning in individual Drosophila melanogaster. The purpose of these studies was to investigate whether variables which are known to influence associative learning in mammals would have the expected effect in the Benzer odor passive avo...

Description
Summary:Two studies investigated associative odor passive avoidance conditioning in individual Drosophila melanogaster. The purpose of these studies was to investigate whether variables which are known to influence associative learning in mammals would have the expected effect in the Benzer odor passive avoidance learning paradigm in A melanogaster.
