Optogenetically induced olfactory stimulation in <i>Drosophila</i> larvae reveales the neuronal basis of odor-aversion behavior

Olfactory stimulation induces an odor-guided crawling behavior of Drosophila melanogaster larvae characterized by either an attractive or a repellent reaction. In order to understand the underlying processes leading to these orientations we stimulated single olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) through...
