Abstract
The olfactory-jump response assay was used to analyze habituation in
Drosophila
mutants of potassium (K
+
) channel subunits. As with physiological assays of the giant fiber-mediated escape reflex, mutations at loci that encode K
+
channel subunits have distinct effects on habituating the olfactory-jump response. The data for
slowpoke
and
ether à go-go
indicate similar effects on habituation of the olfactory-jump response and the giant fiber-mediated escape. Habituation in the olfactory jump assay in
Hyperkinetic
and
Shaker
mutants was drastically different from the degree of defect in the giant fiber-mediated escape reflex, indicating differential control mechanisms underlying the two forms of non-associative conditioning.
