PenmbmB homozygous adults exhibit a reduction in mushroom body (MB) calyx (dendritic) volume over the first week of adult life. They also exhibit reduction in the vertical α/α' and medial β/β' lobes, and abnormal axonal projection termination and often a fusion of the β-lobes across the midline.
Penc05212/PenmbmB, PenD14/PenmbmB or Df(2L)BSC50/PenmbmB adults exhibit a reduction in mushroom body volume.
PenmbmB homozygous adults exhibit lower (single trial) olfactory learning and memory performance indexes; anesthesia resistant protein synthesis independent memory deficits at both time intervals post-massed-training; and no memory at either post-spaced-training time point.
PenmbmB homozygous adults exhibit a reduction in antennal lobe volume (only in females), CCX (ellipsoid body + fan-shaped body) volume (only in males) and wing area (in both sexes).
Mushroom body calyces in mbmB1 mutants are reduced to approximately 20-50% volume of controls. Gross brain morphology appears relatively normal.
mbmB1 heterozygous flies demonstrate comparable patterns of landmark orientation, indicating similar responses to visual stimulation in Buridan's paradigm as control flies.
Despite developing with a 50% reduction in mushroom body volume, mbmB1 males exhibit normal activity levels.
mbmB1 flies exhibit wild-type walking velocity.
Flies have a number of brain defects, the exact phenotype depending on the genetic background. In the original genetic background in which it was induced, mbmB1 produces the following phenotype; the calyx is 1/4 to 1/2 normal size, the peduncle and lobes are thin, the ellipsoid body is open ventrally and the noduli are often misshapen. When placed in a Canton S background, the mushroom body phenotype is similar to that in the original genetic background, but the central complex defects are less penetrant.
Calyces, pedunculi and lobes are small. Weak but positive olfactory learning.
Phenotype similar to that of mbm, but less extreme and mushroom body defect occurs in both males and females; learning is weak in tests using olfactory stimuli.
