Sensory Neuroscience: A Taste for Light and the Origin of Animal Vision.

Davide Pisani1, Omar Rota-Stabelli2, Roberto Feuda3.   

Abstract

Opsins are genes underpinning vision in animals. A new study shows that they are also involved in taste perception in fruit flies, significantly expanding their scope of action. This has important implications for our understanding of the evolution of vision.
