Statement
Reference
The mushroom bodies in flies expressing Btau\MAPT[Scer\UAS.cKa] in neurons under the control of Scer\GAL4[elav.PU] appear normal. The associative olfactory learning performance of animals expressing Btau\MAPT[Scer\UAS.cKa] under the control of Scer\GAL4[elav.PU] is highly deficient compared with controls. Animals expressing Btau\MAPT[Scer\UAS.cKa] under the control of Scer\GAL4[elav.PU] display altered olfactory response to octanol and benzaldehyde compared with controls.
The associative olfactory learning performance of animals expressing Btau\MAPT[Scer\UAS.cKa] using Scer\GAL4[elav.PU] appears impaired without any obvious defects in the structural integrity of mushroom bodies compared with controls.
Expression of Btau\MAPT[Scer\UAS.cKa] in the adult mushroom body and other brain neurons under the control of either Scer\GAL4[c492b] or Scer\GAL4[c747] does not result in decreased longevity. Btau\MAPT[Scer\UAS.cKa]-expression does not appear to cause gross morphological abnormalities or decreased fecundity and vigor compared with controls. Degenerating cells and large vacuoles are not detected in the mushroom bodies of controls or 21 day old animals expressing Btau\MAPT[Scer\UAS.cKa]. The performance of flies expressing Btau\MAPT[Scer\UAS.cKa] under the control of either Scer\GAL4[c492b] or Scer\GAL4[c747] is not significantly different from controls in negatively reinforced associative olfactory learning tasks. The avoidance-response to electrified grids kept at 90 V or 15 V is not different between animals expressing Btau\MAPT[Scer\UAS.cKa] under the control of either Scer\GAL4[c492b] or Scer\GAL4[c747] and controls. Btau\MAPT[Scer\UAS.cKa]-expressing animals and controls exhibit equal decrements in response to olfactory conditioned stimuli after experiencing couples conditioned plus unconditioned stimuli. Scer\GAL4[c747]>Btau\MAPT[Scer\UAS.cKa] and Scer\GAL4[c492b]>Btau\MAPT[Scer\UAS.cKa] flies exhibit a highly significant impairment in learning compared with controls. The memory of the conditioned association 90 minutes later is significantly depressed in Btau\MAPT[Scer\UAS.cKa]-expressing animals, and to a lesser degree at 180 minutes. Conditioned/unconditioned pairing in Scer\GAL4[c747]>Btau\MAPT[Scer\UAS.cKa]-expressing flies yields olfactory learning scores nearly 50% lower than those of controls. The Btau\MAPT[Scer\UAS.cKa]-expressing animals exhibit a significant decrease in memory retention after 30 minutes, despite performing at equivalent level with controls immediately after training.

Flies that express Btau\MAPTScer\UAS.cKa under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 show a 25% reduction in the size of vacuoles that develop in the mechanosensory neuropil compared to futscholk1 flies that do not express the transgene.
