A Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Plays Separate Roles in Sensory Integration and Associative Learning in .

Associative learning and sensory integration are two behavioral processes that involve the sensation and processing of stimuli followed by an altered behavioral response to these stimuli, with learning requiring memory formation and retrieval. We found that the cellular and molecular actions of dissociate sensory integration and associative learning. This was discovered through investigation of a mutation ( ()) affecting both processes.
