GABAergic signaling shapes multiple aspects of Drosophila courtship motor behavior [PDF]
iScience, 2023 Summary: Inhibitory neurons are essential for orchestrating and structuring behavior. We use one of the best studied behaviors in Drosophila, male courtship, to analyze how inhibitory, GABAergic neurons shape the different steps of this multifaceted ...

The Early Sex-Specific Expression of the Fruitless Gene in the Asian Tiger Mosquito Aedes albopictus (Skuse) and Its Functional Conservation in Male Courtship [PDF]
InsectsThe Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus, is an invasive species and a vector for several significant human pathogens. Gaining a deeper understanding of its reproductive biology offers valuable insights into its evolutionary success and may inform the ...

The Fruitless Branch and the Eternal Security of the Believer
E-Journal of Religious and Theological Studies, 2022 The quest for the identification of the fruitless branch has been an enduring theological battleground between the Calvinists and the Arminians who argue as to whether or not the removal of the fruitless branch indicates the loss of eternal salvation.

Molecular and cellular origins of behavioral sex differences: a tiny little fly tells a lot
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2023 Behavioral sex differences primarily derive from the sexually dimorphic organization of neural circuits that direct the behavior. In Drosophila melanogaster, the sex-determination genes fruitless (fru) and doublesex (dsx) play pivotal roles in producing ...

fruitless tunes functional flexibility of courtship circuitry during development
eLife, 2021 Drosophila male courtship is controlled by the male-specific products of the fruitless (fruM) gene and its expressing neuronal circuitry. fruM is considered a master gene that controls all aspects of male courtship.

Single-cell transcriptome profiles of Drosophila fruitless-expressing neurons from both sexes
eLife, 2023 Drosophila melanogaster reproductive behaviors are orchestrated by fruitless neurons. We performed single-cell RNA-sequencing on pupal neurons that produce sex-specifically spliced fru transcripts, the fru P1-expressing neurons.

eLife, 2020 Inter-male aggressive behavior is a prominent sexually dimorphic behavior. Neural circuits that underlie aggressive behavior are therefore likely under the control of sex-determining genes.
