Thus, some important conclusions can be drawn for a further study.
First, in order to properly study long-term memory in fruit flies, it is essential to have both qualified individuals and qualified equipment. This will necessitate some funds, or at least the inclusion of the experimenter in a laboratory which can furnish him or her with these particulars. In other words, this is not an easy experiment. This is, in part, due to the nature of studying long-term memory, which cannot easily be observed, especially in animals, but also to the fact that the behaviours that demonstrate long-term memory in this particular species are quite hard to observe with the naked eye. However, the species does prove the best possible for such studies, for its behaviour has been proven as evidencing long-term memory time and again, as described above.
Further Studies
In order to further study the species, various methods can be employed. The first can be observation, where one can simply look at the fruit flies and devise a way by which it can see whether these flies are affected in any way by events which can impact their long-term memory (i.e. The shocks in the experiment above). Another method, which is the best method, is the combination of observation with specific triggers, such as the shocks mentioned above, which can then further elucidate the events to which the fruit flies may be reacting.
The methods above, again, due to the complex nature of such an experiment, are neither better nor worse than previous methods; they are simply an adaptation in the hope for better results. As with any experiment, observation is paramount; however, so is the purposeful change of certain variables for a necessary effect. The study proposed here would take these steps in order to increase the validity of the findings, and hopefully to build on them. The behaviour of the fruit flies has been proven to be closely related to long-term memory, and not just a matter of habit, and the findings...
Stem Cell Research / Parkinson's Since Barack Obama has become president, the field of stem cell research has been given new life. One of Obama's campaign pledges was to allow deeper research -- including the use of federal research funds -- into the use of pluripotent stem cells in order to find solutions for some of the terrible diseases Americans suffer from. Among those medical problems is Parkinson Disease (PD). This paper
" These authors purport that although mood and behaviour may constitute a vital part in disorderly outcomes of drinking scenarios, other social factors can equally contribute influences. These factors, according to these authors, can be categorized by the following factors: the attitude and motivations that young binge drinkers bring to drinking, the social and peer group norms under which they operate, and features relating to the drinking environment.

Three test launches in September failed miserably, but by October, the crew believed they were ready to test (Green and Lomask, 41). However, on October 4, 1957, the Soviet Union shocked the United States and the world by successfully launching Sputnik 1, into orbit around the Earth, becoming the first nation to launch an artificial satellite into orbit, and pushing them to the front of the now active Space Race
The fly is a gruesome image because flies gather around decaying corpses. However, while this image is startling, it is still shocking that the poet is not more in shock of dying, of being dead, or witnessing just a fly upon her death. The poem consists of four stanzas, which include slant rhymes on the second and fourth lines. The lines alternate between six and eight syllables. Dashes in the
The finding that helped clinch the case was the New World howler monkey. it's the only New World monkey with full trichromatic vision, and the researchers found that it also has the worst sense of smell among New World monkeys, with about 31 per cent of its olfactory receptor genes being nonfunctional. (Kleiner 12) There is another interesting evolutionary difference between humans and our avian cohabitants. Even though birds are
This is the Jealous God that Huston carries throughout his film as a representation of Godly power. This view also raises many associated questions; such as the fact that God must also have been the originator of the snake. In this section and in the others that follow it seems that the central impetus in the film is in reality a critique and an indictment of the God of the
