TL;DR: The utility of 7,000 transgenic lines of Drosophila melanogaster for identifying novel neuronal cell types, revealing brain asymmetry, and describing the nature and extent of neuronal shape stereotypy is illustrated.

TL;DR: The elucidation of the complement of neurons of the MB provides a comprehensive anatomical substrate from which one can infer a functional logic of associative olfactory learning and memory.

TL;DR: This work studied the role of MBONs in several associative learning tasks and in sleep regulation, revealing the extent to which information flow is segregated into distinct channels and suggesting possible roles for the multi-layered MBON network.

TL;DR: It is shown that a group of dopamine neurons in the protocerebral anterior medial (PAM) cluster signals sugar reward by transient activation and inactivation of target neurons in intact behaving flies and highlights the cellular specificity underlying the various roles of dopamine and the importance of spatially segregated local circuits within the MBs.

TL;DR: This study analyzed and compared the the expression patterns of 25 GAL4 drivers labeling the mushroom body, and established a digital catalog indexing representative confocal data of them, which lays groundwork for functional dissection of the mushrooms body.
