Since the results I got after training the parental flies looked a bit odd on first sight I decided to take a closer view…
First I excluded some weird animals that either showed a larger preference for one side than avoidance or showed no avoidance two training periods in a row:
Next I compared the behavior of flies that showed avoidance but no learning with the behavior of the remaining flies:
-> Avoidance is almost the same but note the first test period!
Lastly I split the data according to male and female flies. Here is what I got:
-> Looks a bit like there is negative learning in the male flies however I don´t have enough data to be sure…
As an overview here are all the flies (except for the excluded ones) together again:
Category: Habit formation, Memory, Operant learning, Operant reinforcment, operant self-learning, Spontaneous Behavior, transgenerational epigenetic inheritance
