Odor-evoked inhibition of olfactory sensory neurons drives olfactory perception in Drosophila

It is well established that odor-evoked excitation in olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) encodes odor information. Here the authors report that odor-evoked inhibition in OSNs of Drosophila also encodes odor identity, and can in itself drive both attraction and avoidance behaviors.
