Abstract: | Summary Drosophila X-linked mutantdunceDB276 fails to display learning in an olfactory learning paradigm, in spite of being able to sense odorants and shock (Byers, 1977; Fig. 1). However, conditions exist under which the flies display associative behavior (Table 1, Figs. 3, 5). Memory appears to be short-lived (Table 1, Figs. 3, 5) and labile (Figs. 3, 4). It is suggested that thedunceDB276 mutation affects an early memory phase.I thank G. Bicker, D. Byers and W.G. Quinn for valuable comments.
