Figure 5. A30P flies showed non-odor-specific discrimination deficits.

Figure 5

Fifteen-days old flies were tested for the ability to discriminate the presence of different odors made in 15% MCH versus 15% MCH alone. Chemical structures of each odor are shown and arranged from aromatics on the left, to esters on the right, based on structure similarity to MCH, the background odor. Behavior-equivalent concentrations used were 1.5% of BAe, 20% MSe, 1% of 1-Proe, 20% of EAe, 10% of ButAe and 5% of EHe made in 15% of MCHe. BA: benzaldehyde, MS: methyl salicylate, 1-Pro: 1-propanol, EA: ethyl acetate, ButA: butyl acetate, EH: ethyl hexanoate. For CT vs. A30P comparisons from left to right, tBA(6) = 5.915,**P = 0.001, tMS(7) = 2.,*P = , t1-Pro(6) = 8.986, ***P = 0.0001, tEA(8) = 3.651,**P = 0.0065, tButA(12) = 4.750,***P = 0.0005, and tEH(11) = 8.404,***P<0.0001; Student t-test.
