DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Scott Waddell\nhosted by Richard Londsdale\nAbstract: 
 Drosophila can learn to associate odours with reward or punishment and the
  resulting memories direct odour-specific approach or avoidance behaviours
 . Recent progress has revealed a straightforward model for learning in whi
 ch reinforcing dopaminergic neurons assign valence to odour representation
 s in the neural ensemble of the mushroom bodies. Dopamine directed synapti
 c depression alters the route of odour-driven activity through the mushroo
 m body output network. This circuit configuration and influence of interna
 l state guide the expression of appropriate behaviour. Importantly\, learn
 ed behaviour is flexible and can be updated as the fly accumulates additio
 nal experience.  Our latest studies demonstrate that well-informed behavi
 our is guided by combining parallel conflicting and complementary memories
  of opposite valence.
