Extremely sparse olfactory inputs are sufficient to mediate innate aversion in Drosophila.

Innate attraction and aversion to odorants are observed throughout the animal kingdom, but how olfactory circuits encode such valences is not well understood, despite extensive anatomical and functional knowledge.
