If you’ve ever wondered how you learn to like a food you dislike, a new study conducted by Craig Montell, Duggan Professor of Neuroscience in the Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology, may offer an answer. The work addresses a central question in neurobiology — how experience can alter animal behavior. The research, just published in Nature Neuroscience, was conducted by Montell’s team, which includes lead author Yali Zhang, Rakesh Raghuwanshi, and Wei Shen.
