dunce, a mutant of Drosophila deficient in learning

Abstract

Normal Drosophila learn to avoid an odorant associated with electric shock. An X-linked mutant, dunce, has been isolated that fails to display this learning, in spite of being able to sense the odorant and electric shock and showing essentially normal behavior in other respects.
