Allatostatin-A neurons inhibit feeding behavior in adult Drosophila.
How the brain translates changes in internal metabolic state or perceived food quality into alterations in feeding behavior remains poorly understood. Studies in Drosophila larvae have yielded information about neuropeptides and circuits that promote feeding, but a peptidergic neuron subset whose activation inhibits feeding in adult flies, without promoting metabolic changes that mimic the stat...
متن کاملDissection of the Drosophila neuropeptide F circuit using a high-throughput two-choice assay.
In their classic experiments, Olds and Milner showed that rats learn to lever press to receive an electric stimulus in specific brain regions. This led to the identification of mammalian reward centers. Our interest in defining the neuronal substrates of reward perception in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster prompted us to develop a simpler experimental approach wherein flies could implemen...
متن کاملDrosophila adult and larval pheromones modulate larval food choice.
Insects use chemosensory cues to feed and mate. In Drosophila, the effect of pheromones has been extensively investigated in adults, but rarely in larvae. The colonization of natural food sources by Drosophila buzzatii and Drosophila simulans species may depend on species-specific chemical cues left in the food by larvae and adults. We identified such chemicals in both species and measured thei...
متن کاملRegulation of feeding behavior in adult Drosophila melanogaster varies with feeding regime and nutritional state.
The regulation of feeding behavior in adult Drosophila melanogaster includes such elements as ingestion responsiveness, volume ingested in a single meal, food storage in the crop and rate of defecation. Our results suggest that feeding behavior varies in a manner dependent on feeding regime (food-deprived or ad-libitum-fed) and nutritional state. Fed flies that are subsequently food-deprived be...
متن کاملA Population Protocol for Binary Signaling Consensus
We study a simple population protocol for consensus using binary signaling, where the communication in each interaction is limited to a single bit transmitted from the initiator to the responder. We prove that with high probability the three-state binary signaling population protocol reaches consensus after Θ(n log n) interactions in the worst case, regardless of the initial configuration. Furt...
