Abstract

Drosophila melanogaster males reduce courtship behaviour after mating failure. In the lab, such conditioned courtship suppression, aka ‘courtship conditioning’, serves as a complex learning and memory assay. Interestingly, variations in the courtship conditioning assay can establish different types of memory. Here, we review research investigating the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms that allow male flies to form memories of previous mating failures.

黑腹果蝇条件性求爱抑制

摘要

黑腹果蝇雄性在交配失败后会减少求偶行为。在实验室中，这种有条件的求爱抑制，也就是“求爱条件”，是一种复杂的学习和记忆分析。有趣的是，求爱条件试验的变化可以建立不同类型的记忆。在这里，我们回顾了调查研究允许雄性果蝇形成先前交配失败记忆的潜在细胞和分子机制的研究。
