Recent studies of the way animals learn challenge the idea that food learning relies mainly on how food tastes. Work on Drosophila has now shown that flies must ingest food with a metabolic benefit to form a lasting memory for a learned odour.
最近对动物学习方式的研究挑战了这样一种观点,即食物学习主要依赖于食物的味道。对果蝇的研究表明,为了对一种习得的气味形成持久的记忆,果蝇必须摄入具有代谢益处的食物。
