Abstract: | Two dorsal paired medial (DPM) neurons express the Amnesiac neuropeptide and project onto mushroom bodies, the Drosophila olfactory memory center. In this issue of Neuron, Keene et al. show that higher-level brain circuits process various olfactory memories differently. DPM neurons are required during acquisition of some odors and during memory consolidation of others. These findings reveal a surprising level of complexity for the formation of olfactory memories in Drosophila. |
