“Driven by compression progress: A simple principle explains essential aspects of subjective beauty, novelty, surprise, interestingness, attention, curiosity, creativity, art, science, music, jokes” by Schmidhuber 2008. https://arxiv.org/pdf/0812.4360

Furthermore, our findings demonstrate that cAMP has an adverse impact on the release of acetylcholine from KCs. Accordingly, we postulate that, during conditioning, cAMP depresses KCs, thereby skewing the valence of the CS+ odor towards a more aversive state for the conditioned flies, ultimately culminating in the formation of aversive memories.”

"Flexible specificity of memory in Drosophila depends on a comparison between choices", by Modi et al. 2023 (Glenn Turner's lab) https://elifesciences.org/articles/80923
"A memory too specific will be useless in even a slightly different environment, while an overly general memory may lead to suboptimal choices."
"Rather than forming memories that strike a balance between specificity and generality, Drosophila can flexibly categorize a given stimulus into different groups depending on the options available."

Meanwhile: could you tell us about the voltage imaging? Any caveats?

I am an Assistant Professor in the Dept. of Biology at #HopeCollege (#PUI). I study #Behavior and #Neuroimmunology in mice and humans. My research uses #drugs of abuse (i.e. #morphine and #alcohol) and #space radiation to probe how peripheral #immune responses impact #cognition . I #teach and #mentor #undergraduates (#STEM) how to think about #science and challenge them to question HOW they know content. Here are some other topics/tags that I am fond of: #drugsofabuse #spaceradiation #learningandmemory #adultneurogenesis #microglia #macrophage #mentalhealth
