Abstract: Studies of the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster have revealed a hitherto unknown protein that is involved in the process of memory formation. Flies lacking this protein — known as Volado, meaning 'absent-minded' — cannot learn to associate particular odours with an electric shock. Volado belongs to the integrin family of cell-adhesion receptors, so it could be involved in moulding the connections between neurons.
