ABSTRACT
Animals defend a target level for their fundamental needs, including food, water, and sleep. Deviation from the target range, or "setpoint," triggers motivated behaviors to eliminate that difference. Whether and how the setpoint itself is encoded remains enigmatic for all motivated behaviors. Employing a high-throughput feeding assay in Drosophila, we demonstrate that the protein intake setpoint is set to different values in male, virgin female, and mated female flies to meet their varying protein demands. Leveraging this setpoint variability, we found, remarkably, that the information on the intake setpoint is stored within the protein hunger neurons as the resting membrane potential. Two RFamide G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) pathways, by tuning the resting membrane potential in opposite directions, coordinately program and adjust the protein intake setpoint. Together, our studies map the protein intake setpoint to a single trackable physiological parameter and elucidate the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying setpoint determination and modulation.
