    Molecular characterization of gustatory second-order neurons reveals integrative mechanisms of gustatory and metabolic information

    Rubén Mollá-Albaladejo, Manuel Jiménez-Caballero, Juan Antonio Sanchez-Alcaniz
    Leucokinin neurons integrate sweet and bitter taste inputs with starvation signals to regulate feeding initiation, balancing nutrient intake against the risk of toxin ingestion.
