The paper studies how taste processing evolves in three Drosophila species to explain dietary preference differences.

The paper identifies shared and unique transcriptional changes in Drosophila melanogaster upon individual essential amino acid deprivation, revealing mechanisms linking nutrient scarcity to behavioral and physiological responses.

This study identifies a neuronal population in Drosophila that integrates nutritional state and food patch density to regulate foraging decisions.

The paper shows that Drosophila uses separate neural pathways to process spatial and qualitative information from the pheromone cVA, enabling context-dependent mating behaviors.

The paper investigates how internal states modulate sensorimotor processing to shape food choice in Drosophila by analyzing neuronal activity and identifying a region that directs preference for protein-rich food.

The paper identifies a molecular basis for carbonation detection using Drosophila IRs, showing that Ir56d, along with co-receptors, is essential for carbonation and fatty acid sensing.
