From perception to valence: a pair of interneurons that assign positive valence to sweet sensation in Drosophila

Kevin William Christie, Tarandeep Singh Dadyala, Phuong Chung, Masayoshi Ito, Lisha Shao

The paper identifies a pair of interneurons in Drosophila that assign positive valence to sweet taste and transmit this signal to the mushroom body for appetitive behavior.
