Descending GABAergic pathway links brain sugar-sensing to peripheral nociceptive gating in Drosophila
Abstract Although painful stimuli elicit defensive responses including escape behavior for survival, starved animals often prioritize feeding over escape even in a noxious environment. This behavioral priority is typically mediated by suppression of noxious inputs through descending control in the b...
