  - 'Olfactory responses of Drosophila undergo pronounced changes after eclosion.
    The flies develop attraction to odors to which they are exposed and aversion to
    other odors. Behavioral adaptation is correlated with changes in the firing pattern
    of olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs). In this article, we present an information-theoretic
    analysis of the firing pattern of ORNs. Flies reared in a synthetic odorless medium
    were transferred after eclosion to three different media: (i) a synthetic medium
    relatively devoid of odor cues, (ii) synthetic medium infused with a single odorant,
    and (iii) complex cornmeal medium rich in odors. Recordings were made from an
    identified sensillum (type II), and the Jensen-Shannon divergence (D(JS)) was
    used to assess quantitatively the differences between ensemble spike responses
    to different odors. Analysis shows that prolonged exposure to ethyl acetate and
    several related esters increases sensitivity to these esters but does not improve
    the ability of the fly to distinguish between them. Flies exposed to cornmeal
    display varied sensitivity to these odorants and at the same time develop greater
    capacity to distinguish between odors. Deprivation of odor experience on an odorless
    synthetic medium leads to a loss of both sensitivity and acuity. Rich olfactory
    experience thus helps to shape the ORNs response and enhances its discriminative
    power. The experiments presented here demonstrate an experience-dependent adaptation
    at the level of the receptor neuron.@eng'
