Neuroethology : How flies balance exploration and exploitation
Heinze, Stanley LU
(2026)
In Current Biology
36(7).
p.273-275
- Abstract
Animals need to balance exploiting an available resource against exploring the environment for potentially better alternatives. A new study has revealed that fruit flies integrate long-term metabolic state and recent feeding experience to produce sophisticated search behaviors, which, surprisingly, do not rely on the fly’s internal compass.
