Gustatory receptors: not just for good taste.

Abstract

A recent study has found that a Drosophila gustatory receptor is required for thermotaxis. With other fly gustatory receptors having been shown to act in the detection of CO2, nutrients in the brain, and light, the roles of the so-called gustatory receptors clearly go way beyond peripheral detection of non-volatile chemicals.
