Choline Transporter regulates olfactory habituation via a neuronal triad of excitatory, inhibitory and mushroom body neurons
Due to their robust olfactory system, Drosophila larvae have an amazing ability to discern a wide range of odours, decipher this message in different brain centres, and finally exhibit appropriate behaviours essential for their survival. Our study uses Drosophila larvae to show the role of Choline transporter in the olfactory neural circuit to regulate olfactory 'Habituation'. The drawing depicts the Drosophila larval olfactory neural circuit in the centre, which enables the perception of a repertoire of environmental odours. Different circles in the background represent a wide variety of odours. See Hamid et al.
