Sex-specific signaling in the blood-brain barrier is required for male courtship in Drosophila.

Sex-specific signaling in the blood-brain barrier is required for male courtship in Drosophila.

Soluble circulating proteins play an important role in the regulation of mating behavior in Drosophila melanogaster. However, how these factors signal through the blood-brain barrier (bbb) to interact with the sex-specific brain circuits that control courtship is unknown. Here we show that male iden...
