The mushroom body is required for olfactory learning in flies. Its principal neurons, the Kenyon cells (KCs), form a large cell population, usually divided into three classes(α/β, α’/β’, and γ) based on anatomical criteria. Both neuronal populations from which their olfactory input derives, the projection neurons (PNs) and the presynaptic partners of the PNs, the olfactory sensory neurons, can be identified individually by their glomerular projections, the expression of specific genes, and their odor responses. We ask here whether KCs are similarly identifiable individually. We focused on a subset of ~23 genetically labeled α/β KCs, and recorded their responses to odors using whole-cell patch-clamp in vivo. Response profiles across this sample provided no evidence for repeats across animals. Further, across-animal responses were as diverse within the genetically-labeled subset as across all KCs in a larger sample. By contrast, recorded PN odor responses clustered by glomerular type. Using these PN responses as inputs to a simple KC model, we find that measured inter-fly PN response variability combined with stereotyped PN-to-KC connectivity cannot explain the absence of KC odor response stereotypy. These results suggest differences in PN-to-KC connectivity across individual flies.
