"Feeding decision-making by a single neuron via disparate neurotransmitters", Savas et al. 2026 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-026-69443-8 LK: leucokinin SELKs: subesophageal LK neurons "Our study uncovers a mechanism whereby strong activation of SELKs results in LK release, leading to feeding suppression, while weak activation results in acetylcholine-dependent feeding promotion. Thus, our results reveal that a single pair of neurons, SELKs, differentially controls opposing feeding behaviors via distinct neurotransmitters." #Drosophila #feeding #neuroscience
