Drosophila is a valuable model organism in the discovery of new memory genes because of the simplicity of its brain and the power of its genetics. Drosophila can store memories for more than 24 hours - a process known as long-term memory (LTM) (4,5). LTM seems to be evolutionarily conserved since similar genes such as the transcription factor CREB play an important role in this process in as diver ...
