Functional dissociation in sweet taste receptor neurons between and within taste organs of Drosophila
Locating food sources is essential for the survival of animals. Here, the authors identify two functionally and anatomically distinct classes of sweet taste receptor neurons in Drosophila legs, involved in feeding initiation and sugar-dependent suppression of locomotion.
