An intriguing pattern that emerged from the data is that administration of repeated mild doses of ethanol, odors alone, or odors paired with ethanol all produced significantly altered transcript isoforms. Remarkably, the particular transcripts identified were specific to the behavioral paradigm the animals experienced. Even altered transcripts associated with the presentation of ethanol alone were very different from those when ethanol was presented concomitantly with an odor. This suggests that transcript expression is specific to the type of behavioral context flies experienced.
