Immediate and punitive impact of mechanosensory disturbance on olfactory behaviour of larval Drosophila

The ability to respond to and to learn about mechanosensory disturbance is widespread among animals. Using Drosophila larvae, we describe how the frequency of mechanosensory disturbance (‘buzz’) affects three aspects of behaviour: free locomotion, innate olfactory preference, and potency as a punish...
