Memory storage in mushroom body output neurons [Neuroscience]

Memory storage in mushroom body output neurons [Neuroscience]: Memory is initially labile and gradually consolidated over time through new protein synthesis into a long-lasting stable form. Studies of odor-shock associative learning in Drosophila have established the mushroom body (MB) as a key brain structure involved in olfactory long-term memory (LTM) formation. Exactly how early neural activity encoded in...
