Insertion approximately 250bp 5' of trbl exon 1.
Mutant flies show normal sensitivity to ethanol in an inebriometer assay.
The memory score of mutant flies in the heat-box place-learning paradigm is significantly reduced compared to that of control flies. The mutant flies show no difference from control flies in their ability to avoid a high-temperature source when allowed to choose between chamber halves that are either at 24[o] or 42[o]C.
Mutant flies have a significantly higher memory score than that of control flies in an olfactory conditioning assay. The memory of mutant flies remains elevated relative to wild-type performance even 3 hours after training.
Mutant flies show a normal response response to each of the odours 4-methylcyclohexanol and octanol in an olfactory avoidance assay.
Reactivity to electric shock in mutant flies is not significantly different from that of control flies.
