Frequent Recent Origination of Brain Genes Shaped the Evolution of Foraging Behavior in Drosophila

The evolution of the brain and behavior are coupled puzzles. The genetic bases for brain evolution are widely debated, yet whether newly evolved genes impact the evolution of the brain and behavior is vaguely understood. Here, we show that during recent evolution in Drosophila, new genes have freque...
