Fiber Number in the Mushroom Bodies of Adult Drosophila melanogaster depends on Age, Sex and Experience
Abstract
The mushroom bodies are two characteristically shaped structures of the insect central brain. In Drosophila melanogaster they contain more fibers in females than in males. Within the first week of adult life the total number of fibers increases by about 15% and decreases again in flies older than 3-4 weeks. The number of mushroom body fibers is significantly reduced in flies kept under social isolation or deprived of their antennal input, but not in flies subjected to visual deprivation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
