Experiments were specifically conducted using fruit flies.
After the fruit flies develop a long-term memory of this stimulus
Then shock the fruit flies in the box with an electric shock or shine a blue light on them.
Stimulates the secretion of dopamine
Finally, the researchers found
Brains of fruit flies stimulated by electric shock
Diminished olfactory memory
But an hour passed
After dopamine concentration decreased
Its memory returned once again.
