Figure Q10-31 shows the circuitry and molecular cascade underlying olfactory learning in Drosophila. The CS is the odor and the US is the shock. Figure Q10-31
A. Why does the US paired with the CS result in olfactory conditioning?
B. Why would a different odorant not result in olfactory conditioning?
C. How could you test whether increases in the cAMP pathway in the mushroom body neurons contribute to olfactory conditioning?
D. Based on what is shown in Aplysia, what molecular pathway could contribute to long-term memory formation?
