The authors show that long-term exposure of Drosophila to camphor, which is normally repulsive, leads to decreased repulsion. They identify the TRPL channel as the probable receptor for camphor in gustatory neurons and show that downregulation of TRPL, which requires the E3 ubiquitin ligase Ube3a, underlies this change in taste preference.
