Contact chemoreceptors of herbivorous insects play a crucial role in feeding and oviposition. Insects use them to detect molecules of nutritional value as well as potentially harmful molecules, most of which taste bitter to us. This task represents a challenge for taste neurons of all organisms, in terms of transduction, neural coding and detoxication. We currently address these questions on the model insect, Drosophila melanogaster.
