The paper investigates how gustatory organs contribute to food texture preference in Drosophila larvae, showing their role in texture evaluation and ingestion decisions.

This study identifies HCN channels in Drosophila sweet-sensing gustatory receptor neurons that preserve sensillum potential during prolonged sweet stimulation, maintaining sensory homeostasis.

The paper shows that HCN channels in Drosophila sweet-sensing neurons enable them to resist ephaptic suppression from bitter-sensing neurons, promoting sweetness dominance.

The paper investigates multimodal and multisensory coding in Drosophila larval taste neurons using calcium imaging and single-cell transcriptomics, revealing complex integration of taste and mechanical stimuli.
