The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Mushroom body output neurons encode valence and guide memory-based action selection in Drosophila (2014, positive): “Activating sensory neurons for CO2 or bitter taste in this manner induced strong avoidance (Figure 2B), consistent with previous reports (Suh et al., 2007).”
Genetic manipulation of genes and cells in the nervous system of the fruit fly (2011, methodology): “UAS-ChR2 has been used to study larval learning and pain, adult escape responses, proboscis extension, and CO2 avoidance (Schroll et al., 2006; Hwang et al., 2007; Suh et al., 2007; Zhang et al., 2007; Gordon and Scott, 2009; Zimmermann et al., 2009).”
Shared Visual Attention and Memory Systems in the Drosophila Brain (2009, background): “Only 2–7 day-old female flies were tested, one day after having been anesthetized with CO2.”
The Development and Application of Optogenetics (2011, background): “Flies also possess innate behavioral responses to blue light that are developmentally dependent (Bellmann et al. 2010, Pulver et al. 2009, Suh et al. 2007, Xiang et al. 2010), complicating behavioral studies using opsins with blue activation spectra.”
Essential role of the mushroom body in context-dependent CO₂ avoidance in Drosophila. (2013, background): “We targeted a two-photon laser specifically to the V-glomerulus to photoactivate the PAGFP.”
