Neural circuit evolved to process pheromone differently in two species of fruit fly

The males of two closely related species of fly respond differently to a female pheromone. It emerges that this difference is due to alterations in the activity of an evolutionarily conserved neural circuit in the brain. The males of two closely related species of fly respond differently to a female...
