Fig 6. Allatostatin A neurons mediate reward.

Fig 6

(A) Thermoactivation of AstA-expressing neurons using UAS-dTrpA1 induces immediate appetitive memory. n = 16. (B–C) Blockade of the AstA neurons with UAS-shits1 impairs immediate appetitive memory (B, n = 8) while leaving sucrose preference intact (C, n = 6–8). (D) Normal learning performance of AstA-GAL4/UAS-Shits1 flies at a permissive temperature. n = 6–8. (E) Blockade of the AstA neurons with UAS-shits1 during learning impairs immediate appetitive memory of nonnutritive sugar arabinose. n = 9–16. ns, not significant, * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01.
