Effect of genes, social experience, and their interaction on the courtship behaviour of transgenic Drosophila males.

Abstract excerpt

Behaviour depends (a) on genes that specify the neural and non-neural elements involved in the perception of and responses to sensory stimuli and (b) on experience that can modulate the fine development of these elements.
