Classical conditioning through auditory stimuli in Drosophila: methods and models

Abstract: Training and testing were done according to the timeline in Fig.2. Each fly was given six training trials. In 'paired' trials, flies were rewarded with 5s access to sucrose (1moll -1 solution) 5s after Accepted 6 June 2011 SUMMARY The role of sound in Drosophila melanogaster courtship, along with its perception via the antennae, is well established, as is the ability of this fly to learn in classical conditioning protocols. Here, we demonstrate that a neutral acoustic stimulus paired with a sucrose reward… Show more

“…This threshold is lower than that estimated previously using courtship behaviors (Eberl et al, 1997; Inagaki et al, 2010; Kernan, 2007) and is similar to that recently reported using a conditioned proboscis response reflex (Menda et al, 2011). This result means that the most sensitive JONs must have thresholds at or below this intensity.…”

“…Sound-evoked behavioral thresholds have been analyzed using the startle response (1.2×10 −1 mm/s) or a proboscis extension reflex as an output of sound-associated conditioning (65 dB, which corresponds to 0.9×10 −1 mm/s) [19], [30]. Precise measurement of the behavioral threshold of the sound-induced chaining behavior is difficult, as both velocity and pressure can vary considerably over small distances in echoic environments such as our behavioral chamber.…”

“…Insects are perfectly suited for such a comparison because they learn quickly, and they allow for a rich repertoire of conditioning paradigms. These include, among others, appetitive olfactory conditioning in honeybees (Matsumoto et al, 2012; Menzel, 2012), bumble bees (Riveros and Gronenberg, 2009), Drosophila (Tempel et al, 1983; Chabaud et al, 2006), ants (Guerrieri and d'Ettorre, 2010), Manduca sexta (Ito et al, 2008) and locusts (Simoes et al, 2011), aversive olfactory conditioning in Drosophila (Tully and Quinn, 1985) and honeybees (Abramson, 1986; Vergoz et al, 2007), visual conditioning in honeybees (Dobrin and Fahrbach, 2012), and auditory conditioning in Drosophila (Menda et al, 2011). …”
