  • Title: Chemosensory input and taste discrimination in the blowfly.
    Author: Dethier VG.
    Journal: Science; 1968 Jul 26; 161(3839):389-91. PubMed ID: 5661300.
    Abstract:
    Simultaneous recording of behavioral responses and action potentials from single chemoreceptors in the proboscis of intact blowflies revealed that acceptance of a solution can be mediated either by input from one water receptor or from one salt receptor. Rejection of higher concentrations of salt is mediated by the same salt receptor. A difference of three impulses in the first 100 milliseconds of activity can determine whether the fly accepts or rejects the solution.
