Multimodal stimulus coding by a gustatory sensory neuron in Drosophila larvae

Multimodal stimulus coding by a gustatory sensory neuron in Drosophila larvae

While gustatory systems have been extensively studied in adult Drosophila, not much is known about taste coding at the larval stage. Here, the authors investigate gustatory receptor neurons in larvae and find single neurons are capable of responding to more than one taste modality.
