title: Drosophila olfaction: the end of stereotypy?
abstract: Recent work has demonstrated substantial wiring and functional stereotypy in the fly olfactory system. In this issue of Neuron, Murthy et al. demonstrate that in the mushroom body, a site of olfactory associative learning, this initial peripheral stereotypy gives way to functionally nonstereotyped circuits.
