Acetic acid activates distinct taste pathways in Drosophila to elicit opposing, state-dependent feeding responses by Devineni, Anita V, Sun, Bei, Zhukovskaya, Anna, Axel, Richard

“…Taste circuits are genetically determined to elicit an innate appetitive or aversive response, ensuring that animals consume nutritious foods and avoid the…”

Acute ethanol responses in Drosophila are sexually dimorphic by Devineni, Anita V., Heberlein, Ulrike

“…In mammalian and insect models of ethanol intoxication, low doses of ethanol stimulate locomotor activity whereas high doses induce sedation. Sex differences…”
