Distinct neural circuits reflect sex, sexual maturity, and reproductive status in response to stress in Drosophila melanogaster.

Abstract excerpt

Studies in mammalian systems have shown an array of changes in transmitter signaling in diverse brain regions in response to stress, which differ depending on the age and genetic makeup of the animal, as well as the type of stress. Here, we exploit the genetic tractability of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, a comparatively simple but useful model in which to elucidate conserved components of stress...
