    rad1 homozygous adults have significantly reduced 24-hour associative olfactory water-reward memory, compared to controls, with no effect on 3-min or 3-hour memory.

    rad1 mutant adults have significantly reduced 3-hour aversive olfactory anaesthesia-resistant memory, compared to controls, with no effect on odor or shock avoidance.

    Compared with wild-type, rad1 mutants display an increase in varicosity number and a decrease in innervation length, resulting in a compact innervation pattern at the third instar larval neuromuscular junction.

    Three-hour memory impairment after cold-induced anesthesia is reduced further in rad1 mutants. Reducing 5HT levels by pCPA feeding has no effect in rad1 mutants.

    Extinction learning in rad1 mutants, with either 10 or 30 cycles of training is no different from wild-type controls.

    rad1 flies exhibit a reduced sugar response compared to wild-type Canton-S flies.

    Mutant pupae show bradycardia. At every temperature tested, the mutant heart rate is significantly lower than that of wild type. This strain is insensitive to both serotonin and norepinephrine.

    rad1 flies can learn better than wild-type controls in a standard training procedure. Memory retention is not significantly affected by the rad1 mutation.

    In wild-type animals, increasing the density at which larvae are reared results in an increase in the volume of the calyx in the adult brain. This plasticity is still seen in rad1 mutants.

    Anesthesia resistant memory is disrupted. One day retention after massed training is zero, and after spaced training is subnormal. rad1 mutants fed cycloheximide showed zero 1 day retention after spaced training. However, 2-7 day retention after spaced training is similar to that of wild type flies.

    Individuals learn normally but display abnormally rapid memory decay after training in the olfactory discrimination test of Tully and Quinn (Tully, J. Comp. Physiol. A 157: 263). Memory loss decays to zero.

    rad flies have good initial learning followed by rapid memory decay. memory decay is faster than that for amn1 flies. Cold-induced anaesthesia treatment abolishes memory performance. Behavioural assays demonstrate that flies cannot smell odours or sense electric shocks.
