Abstract

Dopamine has been studied extensively in its role as a reward signal during learning across animal species. Taking advantage of the confined anatomy of DANs innervating the mushroom body (MB) of the fly, Siju et al. show that DAN populations encode innate odor and taste valence, movement, and physiological state in a MB-compartment-specific manner.
