NHsp70Bb.PL mutant flies exhibit significantly enhanced 24 hour long-term memory formation at both 30 and 37[o]C.
Heat-shocked NHsp70Bb.PL flies show a greater than 4-fold increase in 1-day memory after single-cycle training.
Adult flies expressing NHsp70Bb.PL (using a 37oC heat shock) show normal reactivity to electric shock and normal olfactory acuity (to methylcyclohexanol and octanol). Flies in which NHsp70Bb.PL is expressed using a 30 minute heat shock show normal learning scores in a Pavlovian learning and memory assay, when trained and tested 3 hours after the heat shock. One day memory is also unaffected in these flies when they are subjected to the normal spaced training procedure (10 training cycles), however, flies that have only one or two spaced training sessions show enhanced one day memory compared to control flies.
Has no effect on the development of otherwise wild type embryos.
NHsp70Bb.PL has abnormal memory | heat sensitive phenotype, suppressible by klgruslan
NHsp70Bb.PL has abnormal memory | heat sensitive phenotype, suppressible by klgE226/klgGS10439
NHsp70Bb.PL is a non-suppressor of lethal | neurogenic phenotype | recessive | germline clone phenotype of Nctagro
The enhancement of long-term memory by NHsp70Bb.PL over-expression is suppressed in klgruslan or klgGS10439/klgE226 flies.
