Dopamine Neurons Mediate Learning and Forgetting through Bidirectional Modulation of a Memory Trace
Summary: It remains unclear how memory engrams are altered by experience, such as new learning, to cause forgetting. Here, we report that short-term aversive memory in Drosophila is encoded by and retrieved from the mushroom body output neuron MBOn-γ2α′1. Pairing an odor with aversive electric shock...
