Non-associative plasticity at MBON postsynapses in γ2, 3, and 4 compartments. Odor responses before and after either aversive associative conditioning (a, c, e, g) or a control protocol (b, d, f, h) in which the unconditioned stimulus was omitted (training protocols, top). In each case, pre-training responses are depicted in black (line graphs) or gray (box plots), and post-training responses are shown in color, dependent on condition. The yellow bar represents the odor presentation period. The area under the curve (AUC) was calculated over the 5 s following odor onset. Boxes represent 25% and 75% quartiles, squares indicate means, and horizontal lines indicate medians. Whiskers show minimum and maximum values. Pre- to post-training effects were tested using Wilcoxon signed rank tests (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01). For (a–c, e, g, h), n = 10 flies; for (d) and (f), n = 9 flies.
