"Animals use information about the state of their body to guide behaviour. Such internal state information is particularly important to inform decisions about both how much to eat and which foods to consume, which are critical to optimising survival and reproduction. To achieve nutritional homeostasis, many animals develop so-called ‘specific appetites’, seeking out and consuming specific foods in response to internal states that impose specific nutritional demands. How such states modulate neuronal processing to generate specific appetites, however, is poorly understood. In this thesis, I will present data dissecting neural circuit mechanisms underlying appetites for two key nutritional resources in Drosophila.(...)"
