Internal state affects local neuron function in an early sensory processing center to shape olfactory behavior in Drosophila larvae
Abstract Crawling insects, when starved, tend to have fewer head wavings and travel in straighter tracks in search of food. We used the Drosophila melanogaster larva to investigate whether this flexibility in the insect’s navigation strategy arises during early olfactory processing and, if so, how....
