Sexual circuitry in Drosophila

Sexual circuitry in Drosophila

Highlights • Sex-specific isoforms of Fruitless and Doublesex define dimorphic circuitry. • Sensory pathways for chemical and auditory stimuli traced to the central brain. • Female receptivity circuits that control post-mating behavioral changes are mapped. • P1 and pC1 neurons integrate multimodal...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • Sex-specific isoforms of Fruitless and Doublesex define dimorphic circuitry. • Sensory pathways for chemical and auditory stimuli traced to the central brain. • Female receptivity circuits that control post-mating behavioral changes are mapped. • P1 and pC1 neurons integrate multimodal stimuli to trigger sex-specific behaviors. • Multiple evolutionary innovations in drosophilid sexual characteristics and behaviors.
