Characterization of the Sexually Dimorphic fruitless Neurons That Regulate Copulation Duration

Male courtship in Drosophila melanogaster is a sexually dimorphic innate behavior that is hardwired in the nervous system. Understanding the neural mechanism of courtship behavior requires the anatomical and functional characterization of all the neurons involved. Courtship involves a series of dist...
