Widely used in the field of neuroscience, the fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) is a study model able to modify its behavior after an elementary task.

For the first time, Matthias Durrieu, Antoine Wystrach, Patrick Arrufat, Martin Giurfa and Guillaume Isabel from the CRCA have just experimentally showed that fruit flies can solve a more complex learning task.
This study was recently published in the scientific journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
