Identification and characterization of mushroom body neurons that regulate fat storage in Drosophila

Abstract Background In an earlier study, we identified two neuronal populations, c673a and Fru-GAL4, that regulate fat storage in fruit flies. Both populations partially overlap with a structure in the insect brain known as the mushroom body (MB), which plays a critical role in memory formation. Thi...
