特洛伊·D Zars（1967-2018）是一位美国生物学家。他研究果蝇基因、神经回路和行为之间的关系。Zars共同开创了使用转基因表达来局部恢复记忆缺陷果蝇突变体的基因功能，这种方法为果蝇大脑中记忆痕迹的定位提供了突破性的见解。随着转基因表达方法的改进和转基因表达范围的扩大，这形成了现代行为神经遗传学领域。
Troy D. Zars (1967–2018) was an American biologist. He studied the relationships between genes, neuronal circuits and behavior in the fruit flyDrosophila melanogaster. Zars co-pioneered the use of transgene expression to locally restore gene function in memory-defective fly mutants, an approach that provided breakthrough insights into the localization of memory traces in the fly brain. With ensuing refinements of the methods of transgene expression and the broadening in the range of transgenes to be expressed, this shaped the field of modern behavioral neurogenetics.
