Happy to sharw our latest paper published in PlosBiology. Key findings: The same neurons that help form memories also drive instant attraction/aversion behaviors. They use multiple neurotransmitters to achieve this - a beautiful example of neural complexity!

Dopamine neurons that inform Drosophila olfactory memory have distinct, acute functions driving attraction and aversion
Dopamine is important for guiding immediate responses to beneficial and harmful stimuli and simultaneously writing memories for future reference. This study shows how dopaminergic systems mediate both...
