Sentences with phrase «mushroom body neurons»

Using real - time cellular imaging to monitor the changes in aged flies» neuron activity before and after learning, Davis and his colleague Ayako Tonoki found structural connectivity defects between a set of neurons known as dorsal paired medial neurons and mushroom body neurons; these defects prevented long - term memories from forming.

Caffeine potentiated responses of mushroom body neurons involved in olfactory learning and memory by acting as an adenosine receptor antagonist.
