Taste-independent nutrient selection is mediated by a brain-specific Na+/solute cotransporter in Drosophila

Animals can determine the nutritional value of sugar without the influence of taste. Here, we describe a Drosophila mutant that is insensitive to the nutritional value of sugars, but responds only to the concentration (i.e. sweetness). The affected gene encodes a sodium/solute cotransporter-like pro...
