Combinatorial Pharyngeal Taste Coding for Feeding Avoidance in Adult Drosophila
Summary: Taste drives appropriate food preference and intake. In Drosophila, taste neurons are housed in both external and internal organs, but the latter have been relatively underexplored. Here, we report that Poxn mutants with a minimal taste system of pharyngeal neurons can avoid many aversive t...
