Drosophila learn opposing components of a compound food stimulus
Dopaminergic neurons provide value signals in mammals and insects [1-3]. During Drosophila olfactory learning, distinct subsets of dopaminergic neurons appear to assign either positive or negative value to odor representations in mushroom body neurons [4-9]. However, it is not known how flies evalua...
