What does the fruitless gene tell us about nature vs. nurture in the sex life of Drosophila?

Fly - 3 Apr 2017

Yamamoto Daisuke, Kohatsu Soh

Abstract excerpt

The fruitless (fru) gene in Drosophila has been proposed to play a master regulator role in the formation of neural circuitries for male courtship behavior, which is typically considered to be an innate behavior composed of a fixed action pattern as generated by the central pattern generator. However, recent studies have shed light on experience-dependent changes and sensory-input-guided plasticity in courtship...
