Fruit Fly Larvae and Electroreception: A Sixth Sense Unveiled
Electroreception, the ability to sense electric fields, is a fascinating trait found in species like sharks, bees, and platypuses. Recent research has added fruit fly larvae (Drosophila melanogaster) to this list, revealing their capacity to detect electric fields and navigate toward negative electric potentials. This discovery opens new avenues for understanding sensory biology and bioengineering ...
