Book excerpt: Understanding the principles behind olfactory higher-order associative chains formation in Drosophila is one step further into unraveling the essence of learning and memory. However, the rationale behind such mechanisms sprouts since the development of the young brain to its full potential and its ability form complex and intermingled connections governing this type of higher-order learning. First, we took a developmental approach to assess the activity behind neuronal development of the center of olfactory learning in the fruit fly, the mushroom body (MB). We could demonstrate that pruning...
