This study shows that gut bacteria influence Huntington's disease progression in Drosophila models, with antibiotics and compounds like crocin reducing disease symptoms while E. coli worsens them.

The paper shows that Drosophila are attracted to CO2 during active foraging but avoid it at low activity, while ethanol is consistently attractive, revealing distinct activity-gated pathways for CO2 and ethanol responses.
