Abstract
The invention pertains to a novel gene present in cytological region 37D of the second chromosome which functions in associative learning and/or memory. Disruption of the gene, such as by P element transposon-tagged insertion, results in decreased associative learning and/or memory. The invention also pertains to a novel protein encoded by the gene, antibodies which bind the encoded protein, and homologs of the novel gene which function in associative learning and hybridize to the DNA sequence of the novel gene.
