Scientists are literally giving cocaine to fruit flies to crack the code on addiction—because these tiny bugs share 75% of our disease genes! Turns out, flies hate cocaine (they taste it as bitter), but when researchers silenced their bitter taste sensors, the flies started to go for the drug-laced sugar water. This wild experiment could help scientists find new ways to treat addiction in humans. Who knew fruit flies could be so relatable? #ScienceNews #AddictionResearch #FruitFlies #Health
