The neural circuits and signaling molecules that cause selective forgetting (IMAGE)
Caption
The researchers identified the circuit that drives selective forgetting. AWC neurons release a “forgetting signal” that acts on AIZ neurons, which in turn release glutamate onto AWA neurons, where the memory of odor A is stored. The memory of odor B, learned at the same time, is left unaffected.
