Flies expressing Nmdar1Scer\UAS.cMa under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU show normal learning (memory measured immediately after conditioning) and short-term memory (assayed 1 hour after training) in an aversive olfactory conditioning assay. One-day memory after spaced training (long-term memory) and one-day memory after massed training (anesthesia-resistant memory) are normal.
Acute expression of Nmdar1Scer\UAS.cMa under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.Switch.PO (by feeding 1mM RU486 starting one day prior to training) has no effect on one-day long term memory.
Expression of Nmdar1Scer\UAS.cMa under the control of either Scer\GAL4GH146 or Scer\GAL4NP0225 in a wild-type background does not increase learning acquisition.
Scer\GAL4elav.PLu/Nmdar1UAS.cMa is a suppressor of short lived phenotype of PQBP1PL00109
Scer\GAL4PQBP1-PL00109/Nmdar1UAS.cMa is a suppressor of abnormal learning | adult stage phenotype of PQBP1PL00109
Co-expression of Nmdar1Scer\UAS.cMa under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu rescues the shortened lifespan of PQBP1PL00109 flies.
The learning defects of PQBP1PL00109 flies are rescued by expression of Nmdar1Scer\UAS.cMa under the control of Scer\GAL4PQBP1-PL00109.
Expression of Nmdar1Scer\UAS.cMa under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU rescues the learning defects seen in Nmdar1EP331 flies.
