Department of Molecular and Cell Biology and Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute, CA, USA
Nature 465:91-5. 2010..These studies link an osmosensitive ion channel to water taste detection and drinking behaviour, providing the framework for examining the molecular basis for water detection in other animals... - Limited taste discrimination in DrosophilaPavel Masek
Department of Molecular and Cell Biology and the Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA
