In Drosophila, the gustatory system functions as a final checkpoint for food acceptance or rejection.
Drosophila melanogaster is presented as an excellent model system for comparative studies of taste detection.
The review covers molecules and cells that detect taste compounds in the periphery and circuits that process taste information in the brain.
Studies of Drosophila gustatory processing provide insight into how taste detection regulates feeding decisions.
