Sensory discrimination of chemical and temperature stimuli in the acoel Symsagittifera roscoffensis

This study investigates the sensory responses of the acoel Symsagittifera roscoffensis to chemical and temperature stimuli, finding avoidance behaviors to increased temperature and high salinity.

Food texture preference reveals multisensory contributions of gustatory organs in behaviour and physiology

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

A temporally restricted function of the Dopamine receptor Dop1R2 during memory formation

This study shows that Dop1R2 is required for later memory forms but not short-term memories in Drosophila, with specific spatial requirements in the Mushroom body lobes.
