This report finds that dietary restriction, the most extensively studied anti-aging intervention, can be mimicked by blocking food odour signaling and identifies a neural network of food perception that functions through serotonin and dopamine.

Attractant food odor represses fmo-2 to limit longevity We developed an integrated single-copy mCherry reporter driven by the fmo-2 promoter to measure fmo-2 induction. The reporter is primarily exp… [+33129 chars]
