Like humans, fruit flies are sophisticated in how they approach food. They won’t eat when they’re full. In experiments that were part of a new University of Delaware study, researchers found that activating a pair of neurons in the flies’ brains would make them eat dramatically more amounts of food, even after they had just been fed.
