A discrete group of interconnected neurons are shown to drive aggressive social interactions in Drosophila females and genetic tools to manipulate these neuronal cell types are provided.
A set of sexually dimorphic neurons in female flies is part of a recurrent neural network and drives minutes-long persistent neural activity and persistent social behaviors.
Deep imaging, machine-learning-based segmentation, and tissue annotation resulted in a developmental series of 3D digital ovules with cellular resolution allowing next-level analysis of the ontogenesis of this complex organ.
