Octopamine neuromodulation regulates Gr32a-linked aggression and courtship pathways in Drosophila males.

Chemosensory pheromonal information regulates aggression and reproduction in many species, but how pheromonal signals are transduced to reliably produce behavior is not well understood. Here we demonstrate that the pheromonal signals detected by Gr32a-expressing chemosensory neurons to enhance male...
