Feminization and alteration of Drosophila taste neurons induce reciprocal effects on male avoidance behavior.

Abstract excerpt

Taste perception allows most animals to find edible food, potential mates, and avoid ingesting toxic molecules. Intriguingly, a small group of Drosophila taste neurones (expressing Gr66a-Gal4) involved in the perception of bitter substances is also used to detect 7-tricosene (7-T), a male cuticul...
