(a) Food preference on silencing of MNs. Flies were given a choice between 0.5 mM sucrose in 0.2% agarose and 1 mM sucrose in 2% agarose. Flies were raised at 21 °C and shifted to the indicated temperature for 3 days before assaying. Unpaired Student’s t-tests, **P<0.01. (b,c) Mechanosensor screen. Flies were given a choice between 0.5 mM sucrose in 0.2% agarose and 1 mM sucrose in 2% agarose. ANOVA with Tukey post-hoc tests, **P<0.01. n is indicated in parentheses. All data are presented as means±s.e.m.
