We furthered compared the top 200 transcripts with the largest fold changes in expression (Figure S5). This approach demonstrated that specific transcripts have greater dynamic range in expression in response to experiencing odors, ethanol, or ethanol-odor training. Interestingly, there were more overlapping transcripts between pairwise comparisons than observed in the top P-value transcripts intersection analysis (Figure S5C), suggesting that particular transcripts in the MB neurons are more plastic than others. Hypergeometric statistics again showed that the number of overlapping transcripts was statistically greater than would be expected by chance alone (Figure S4C). A subset of the overlapping top fold-changing transcripts between treatment conditions are listed in Figure S5D.
