Fruit fly avoidance mechanism could lead to new ways to control pain in humans
(University of Georgia) A team of researchers from the University of Georgia has discovered for the first time that the important developmental switch from food attraction to aversion in the fruit fly larva is controlled by a timing mechanism in the brain and its sensory system. The study shows how this important avoidance mechanism has been recruited into evolutionary processes to promote development and could lead to new methods of controlling pain in humans and other animals.

Findings indicate that naltrexone is just as effective on its own as it is in combination with sertraline.
