Long-Term Memory: The Role of Light and Learning in Coping with Stress in Drosophila melanogaster

The formation of a conditional connection allows the organism to change its reactions to various environmental factors, combining and mobilizing the necessary internal adaptive processes. It is assumed that there are common mechanisms underlying the formation of adaptive processes including stress response and learning. To develop methods for non-invasive correction of nervous system pathologies in a model object of genetics Drosophila, the relationship of adaptive mechanisms of the formation of a conditional connection and the development of a stressor reaction to the weakening of the Earth’s magnetic field in light: dark conditions was studied. We a role of learning and lighting in stress coping due to the formation of long-term memory in the paradigm of conditioned courtship suppression. Within the framework of quantum dynamics of electronic and nuclear spins of transition states of radical molecules, the hypothesis of their participation in the formation of long-term memory is considered.
