We show that this choice behavior consists of early and late phases; the former requires activation of the dopaminergic system and mushroom bodies, whereas the latter is independent of these activities. Immunohistological analysis showed that mushroom bodies are densely innervated by dopaminergic axons. Thus, the circuit from the dopamine system to mushroom bodies is crucial for choice behavior in Drosophila. 10.1126/science.1137357 Dopamine-Mushroom Body Circuit Regulates Saliency-Based Decision-Making in Drosophila Ke Zhang Jian Guo Yueqing Peng Wang Xi Aike Guo doi:10.1126/science.1137357 Science, Vol. 316, No. 5833.
