The full repertoire of Drosophila gustatory receptors for detecting an aversive compound [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2015 The ability to detect toxic compounds in foods is essential for animal survival. However, the minimal subunit composition of gustatory receptors required for sensing aversive chemicals in Drosophila is unknown.

The constructive evolution of taste in Astyanax cavefish: A review
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Animals inhabiting subterranean environments tend to evolve a constellation of ‘regressive’ and ‘constructive’ features. Regressive traits like vision and pigmentation are reduced or lost in derived organisms.

Optogenetic induction of appetitive and aversive taste memories in Drosophila
eLife, 2023 Tastes typically evoke innate behavioral responses that can be broadly categorized as acceptance or rejection. However, research in Drosophila melanogaster indicates that taste responses also exhibit plasticity through experience-dependent changes in ...

Drosophila gustatory projections are segregated by taste modality and connectivity
eLife, 2022 Gustatory sensory neurons detect caloric and harmful compounds in potential food and convey this information to the brain to inform feeding decisions. To examine the signals that gustatory neurons transmit and receive, we reconstructed gustatory axons ...

Taste quality and hunger interactions in a feeding sensorimotor circuit
eLife, 2022 Taste detection and hunger state dynamically regulate the decision to initiate feeding. To study how context-appropriate feeding decisions are generated, we combined synaptic resolution circuit reconstruction with targeted genetic access to specific ...
