Appetitive and aversive memories are impaired by blocking different subsets of dopamine neurons. (A) Schematic diagram of the mushroom body projections of dopamine neurons labelled by TH-GAL4. The ambient temperature is 32 ℃ throughout the experiment. (B) Time course of conditioned odor choice tested 2 hours after training with electric shock. n = 11, 8, 11. Estimated thalf = 2.55 sec, 5.36 sec for TH-GAL4/+, UAS-shi/+ flies, respectively. (C) Averaged performance over the last 60 sec. ***: P < 0.001; one-way ANOVA and a two-tailed unpaired t-test followed by Bonferroni correction (planned pairwise comparisons). (D) Schematic diagram of the mushroom body projections of dopamine neurons labelled by R58E02-GAL4. (E) Time course of conditioned odor choice tested 2 hours after training with the sugar reward. n = 4 for each. Estimated thalf = 12.16 sec, 4.46 sec for 58E02-GAL4/+, UAS-shi/+ flies, respectively. (F) Averaged performance over the last 60 sec. ***: P < 0.001; one-way ANOVA and a two-tailed unpaired t-test followed by Bonferroni correction (planned pairwise comparisons).
