Genetic Variation in Taste Sensitivity to Sugars in Drosophila melanogaster.

abstract：:Many studies have indicated that the chemical cues from body odors (BOs) of donors experiencing negative emotions can influence the psychophysiological and behavioral response of the observers. However, these olfactory cues have been used mainly as contextual information for processing visual stimuli. Here, for the fi...
