Abstract
Normal Drosophila learn to avoid an odorant associated with electric shock. An X-linked mutant, dunce, was isolated that fails to display this learning, in spite of being able to sense the odorant and electric shock and showing essentially normal behavior in other respects.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
