A vector-based strategy for olfactory navigation in Drosophila

Andrew F. Siliciano, Sun Minni, Chad Morton, Charles K. Dowell, Noelle B. Eghbali, Silas E. Busch, Juliana Y. Rhee, Larry F. Abbott, Vanessa Ruta

This study shows that Drosophila use vector-based memory computations in the central complex to navigate odor plumes by tracking their boundaries.

Exaggerated NMDA Receptor-Primed Metaplasticity via SK Channel Dysregulation in Fmr1 Knockout Mice

Toshihiro Nomura, Chad Morton, John J Marshall, Anis Contractor

This study shows that Fmr1 knockout mice exhibit exaggerated NMDA receptor-mediated metaplasticity due to SK channel dysregulation, affecting hippocampal LTP and potentially contributing to learning impairments in Fragile X syndrome.
