SEXUALLY DIMORPHIC PERIPHERAL SENSORY NEURONS REGULATE COPULATION DURATION AND PERSISTENCE IN MALE DROSOPHILA

Sexually dimorphic peripheral sensory neurons regulate copulation duration and persistence in male Drosophila

Abstract Peripheral Resveratrol sensory neurons are the gateway to the environment across species.In Drosophila, olfactory and gustatory senses are required to initiate courtship, as well as for the escalation of courtship patterns that lead to copulation.To be successful, copulation must last long enough to ensure the transfer of sperm and seminal
