Interesting, with the caveat that the odor/reward experiment was performed on larvae at a development stage with 10,000 neurons, not 3,000.
For instance, if you expose larvae a rewarding stimulus like sugar along with an odour, they will later be attracted to that odour. That is by definition learning, simple learning, but we have to start somewhere i guess.
Interestingly there is some evidence that the memory lasts through to the adult stage, despite the fact that a lot of the brain is actually rewired during pupation.
