Conditioning deficits of CaM-kinase transgenic Drosophila melanogaster in a new excitatory courtship assay.

abstract：:A new autosomal recessive mutation, characterized by an early defect in righting reflex and stiffened gait, progression to severe spasticity, tremor and rigidity, and death before weaning, appeared spontaneously on the C57BL/6 background. It was shown to be an allele of the mutant spastic spa, and shall be known as sp...
