Post-learning activation of DAN-aSP13 neurons mediates LTM consolidation.

(A) The MBγ and DAN-aSP13s are repetitively activated during 6 hr training by the olfactory and behavioral cues presented by a mated female, respectively. (B) Males display an enhanced amount of sleep after training for LTM. Enhanced sleep is mediated by the vFB neurons in response to a learning induced sleep drive while the remaining amount of sleep is regulated by dFB neurons in response to homeostatic sleep drive. Only vFB neurons activate DAN-aSP13s. Dopamine released as a result of DAN-aSP13s activation stimulates molecular processes in the γKCs neurons that involve synthesis of new proteins essential for LTM memory persistence. (C) Subsequently, experienced males suppress their courtship towards mated females for 24 hr or longer.

P values determined by permutation test for the null hypothesis that learning equals 0 (H0: SI = 0) or for the null hypothesis that experimental and control males learn equally well (H0: SI = SIc). Table S10. Silencing of vFB neurons between 7–10 hr impairs LTM Suppression indices (SIs) of naïve (train-) and experienced (train+) males of the indicated genotypes with vFB silenced as denoted in Figure 5B, tested in single-pair assays with mated females as trainers and testers. Courtship indices (CIs) are shown as median of n males and dispersion of the data as interquartile range (IQR). P values determined by permutation test for the null hypothesis that learning equals 0 (H0: SI = 0) or for the null hypothesis that experimental and control males learn equally well (H0: SI = SIc).
