Abstract excerpt
Genetic and molecular results are here presented revealing that the dissonance (diss) courtship song mutation is an allele of the no-on-transient-A (nonA) locus of Drosophila melanogaster. diss (now called nonAdiss) was originally isolated as a mutant with aberrant pulse song, although it was then noted to exhibit defects in responses to visual stimuli as well. The lack of transient spikes in the...
